Magdalena Łuczak became a student of the University of Colorado Boulder Leeds School of Business in 2022. She joined the Colorado Buffaloes team and has been successfully representing her university in the prestigious NCAA academic championships, combining her sports career with education.
She simultaneously studies at the Faculty of Economics and Sociology of the University of Lodz. All thanks to the Studies and Sport programme implemented by the university, which enables a harmonious combination of a sports career with high-level academic education, offering student-athletes flexibility in learning and the support necessary to achieve success in both fields. Thanks to this, Magdalena Łuczak can also represent AZS Łódź.
The individual course of education provided to the skier by the University of Lodz is essential for practicing sports professionally.
I'm basically in Poland only in May, so then I have a lot of work to pass all the exams, but I am, albeit slowly, coping also with that
– says Magdalena Łuczak about the behind-the-scenes of her academic activity as part of the Studies and Sport programme at the University of Lodz.
