Farewell to Regional Councillor Prof. Jacek Woźny
With deep sorrow and sadness, I received the news of the passing of Prof. Dr. habil. Jacek Woźny, Rector of Kazimierz Wielki University during the terms 2016–2020 and 2020–2024, and a councillor of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region in the current term.
We bid farewell to a historian and archaeologist, an outstanding scholar, a respected educator, and above all a good man who inspired students and colleagues with his passion. We will remember his wisdom, kindness, and invaluable contribution to the development of Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz and to the regional self-government of Kujawy and Pomorze.
He was not only an academic authority, but also a model of integrity, empathy, and joy for life. A wonderful person. Wise, honest, and friendly. He inspired others. I learned a great deal from him.
He will remain in my memory forever.
To his loved ones, family, and all those to whom Jacek was close, I extend my deepest condolences for this painful loss.
Piotr Całbecki
Marshal of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region
