Coming from a region where music plays a big role in our lives – think about ABBA, Roxette, and Avicii – it seems inevitable that we became intrigued by the swift pace of innovation within the music industry.

As a young university, we aim to preserve an academic tradition with roots dating back to the Middle Ages while also considering our own history and identity. In Karlstad, we have chosen to shape our academic ceremony to reflect our culture while connecting to national and international university traditions.
Originally, our mission was to educate professionals in the most knowledge-demanding fields of law, medicine, and theology.
Each year, Karlstad University chooses, after a nomination period, two former students who have used their education inspirationally, have embarked on exiting careers and are good role models for the university’s current students, as Alumni of the Year. The Alumni of the Year for 2017 are Marie Fossum Strannegård and Jörgen Svensson.
Marie Fossum Strannegård obtained a Bachelor’s degree with a major in Information Systems from Karlstad University in 1995.
