Alum of the Year
Every year, Karlstad University appoints the Alum of the Year. This is a person who has studied at Karlstad University and who is a good role model for the university’s students.
Students and staff at the university, members of the Alumni Network and friends of the university are invited to suggest suitable candidates, based on the following criteria:
- Alum of the Year must have a bachelor’s degree and/or a master’s degree and/or a PhD from Karlstad University.
- The nominee demonstrates integrity in their chosen profession and dares to challenge what is established as well as explore the unknown within their field of work.
WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE AS THE NEXT ALUM OF THE YEAR?
Suggest a person who meets the criteria and who has built a career in an exemplary manner. Perhaps they have discovered new and different paths, excelled in their expertise and, above all, followed their dreams to their current job. The alumni are the universities primary ambassadors in the labour market and for prospective students.
