Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technologies - TST ID
University of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technologies was represented by dean Prof. Dr. Eng. Dan Lascu:
"We, the teachers, have a joy, that year after year we can give each other gifts, (...) namely hope. Russo used to say that there are a thousand awards for good speeches and none for good deeds, and by the nature of the profession, we engineers have to do the actual deed - that's what defines us. (…) I congratulate you for choosing this refuge and I assure you that it will not disappoint you."

That's why I would like them to think about this every time they have a hard time. (…) I am convinced that the final satisfactions will be commensurate. There will have to be a lot of determination from everyone to get to the finish we all want."
Prof. Dr. Eng. Florin Alexa, University of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technologies wanted to say a few words to the students from TST ID:
"If you have chosen this path, think that you are doing it for yourself. (…) Set your goals as high as possible, because if you set low goals and reach them, afterwards you have to think about what goal you have left."

From the side Faculty of Communication Sciences he took the floor conf Simon Simon, vice dean of the Faculty of Communication and Public Relations and teaching staff at the CRP ID specialization:
"It is an important moment for all those who are making their debut in the academic life of the Polytechnic University of Timișoara, a university with tradition, a university that places knowledge and man at the center of its actions. (…) As you have seen, in recent years we have faced various situations in which communication had a difficult word to say in everything that followed in our society."
Academic responsible for distance learning from the specialization Communication and Public Relations and professor in the department, conf. Dr. Gabriel-Mugurel Dragomir then took the floor.
"Students came to a university where teachers learn alongside students. (…) Even if there were difficult moments, which we went through together, we are glad that we had the CeL team with us."
