The Rector’s tribute to Unipd athletes for the 2021/2022 season
The 2021/2022 season of the University of Padua’s star athletes at national level drew to a close on 20 June.
To celebrate the occasion, the Rector Daniela Mapelli, the Pro-Rector for Welfare and Sports Antonio Paoli, and the entire governing team wanted to meet the students who won national medals during this season, both individually and as a team. They acknowledged the achievements with a solemn and very emotional event held in the evocative setting of the Archivio Antico of Palazzo del Bo.. Precisely, these are students who won awards at the recent spring CNU (National University Championships) in Cassino(where CUS Padua ranked sixth in the overall medals chart), at the winter CNU in Zoldo, and at the Finswimming University World Cup. The entire CUS Padova women’s basketball team, which was promoted to Serie B Basket, also participated in the event.
«We feel like family at the Bo. We are part of the University, and we try to do everything we can to provide the best sports services for students,” said Francesco Uguagliati,, President of CUS Padova. “We wish to thank the Rector for her interest in our activities. Together with Pro-Rector Paoli, we shall seek ways of further expanding our initiatives because we think they can be part of a modern university that closely meets the needs of today’s students».
