Aurel Voicu, former mayor of the city of Cugir, was born on June 17, 1935. His passion for history led him to pursue a master's degree in “Research, preservation and valorization of historical heritage”, according to Agerpres.
Before occupying the position of mayor of Cugir, Voicu was also deputy mayor until 2008.
During the graduation ceremony, rector Daniel Breaz wanted to specify on Saturday that the man is “an example“.
