Focus on Maria Skłodowska-Curie Medallion and explore the History.
On August 3, 1955, the University at Buffalo created the Polish Room. Polish-American artist Jozef C. Mazur was hired to plan and decorate the room. Items included a set of four stained-glass medallions depicting famous Poles. 
At some point between the founding and when the Polish Room was moved in 1978, the medallions went missing. In 2007 the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Medallion was found for sale on eBay by University at Buffalo alumnus Gregory Witul. Witul was able to coordinate the return of the medallion to the University. A formal re-dedication was held on November 4, 2007. 
On April 6, 2008 Witul received the Am-Pol Eagle Citizen of the Year Award for Heritage for finding and coordinating the return of the medallion and Peter Miecyjak received the Am-Pol Eagle Citizen of the Year Award for Youth in part for organizing the re-dedication.
