The first ceremonial presentation of the Committee’s initiative to establish the Polish–American Center

The initiative to create the Polish–American Center is guided by the mission of strengthening ties between representatives of the American and Polish communities in culture, academia, diplomacy, and business, inspired by the timeless values embodied by Tadeusz Kościuszko — a hero of two nations.

– Prof. Jim Mazurkiewicz, Regents Fellow & Leadership Program Director, Texas A&M University;

– Prof. Konrad Raczkowski, PhD, DSc, Director of the World Economy Center at Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University;
