Honorary medal 2021

Karlstad University’s honorary medal is in 2021 awarded to Christina Ullenius

Christina Ullenius was Vice-Principal at Karlstad University for twelve years (1995-2006). Christina was the driving force in the work that led to the University College in Karlstad receiving university status in 1999. This was not only of concern for the institution itself, but it has been important to the regional development in Värmland. During her time as Vice-Chancellor, she put Karlstad University on the map in terms of both national and international education and research by, among other things, being co-chair of the European University Association (EUA), as well as chairing The Association of Swedish Higher Education Institutions (SUHF) and chairing the university collaboration VUS.

Christina Ullenius is an extraordinarily well-deserving recipient of the University’s honorary medal.
