Teacher of the Year at the School of Business and Economics
Congratulations to Roger Stokkedal and Stig Malm, who have been awarded the Teacher of the Year award at the School of Business and Economics closing ceremonies in Växjö and Kalmar!
The winners are voted for by the students at the School of Business and Economics, and in Kalmar, the Crystal Apple prize is awarded by the student association Kalmar ESS, and this year it went to Stig Malm, with the following motivation:
With a heart that is passionate about his teaching and an outstanding ability to reach every student, Stig has become an invaluable asset in education. Through his commitment, warmth and clear pedagogy, he creates a learning environment where students not only understand, but also grow, are motivated and dare to believe in their own abilities. His skill in making the complex understandable and his constant presence regardless of obstacles, is a clear expression of what a real teaching effort means. He is living proof of what a crucial difference a committed teacher can make. These qualities mean that Stig Malm is awarded the Crystal Apple 2025.
"It makes me both happy, touched and a little proud when I take part in the students' motivation to choose me as the winner of the Crystal Apple 2025. As a teacher, being part of other people's learning and development feels both stimulating and meaningful. A heartfelt thank you!" says Stig.
In Växjö, the prize is called Glasäpplet, and is awarded by EHVS. The winner this year was Roger Stokkedal. The motivation reads:
A teacher who always prioritizes his students first, and creates the best possible environment for learning. It is a person who is highly competent in his subject and really good at explaining so that everyone understands. This teacher always brings a positive energy to the classroom and is passionate in everything he does.
"It is a very great honour to receive the Glass Apple. I would like to extend a warm and heartfelt thank you to you students who voted me Teacher of the Year. Your appreciation is deeply honoring and motivates me to continue to strive to be a committed and inspiring teacher in the future as well." says Roger Stokkedal.
Congratulations again, Roger and Stig!
