On Wednesday 13 June at 15:00 an awards ceremony will be held in the Senate Hall honouring the sporting achievements of Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) students - sports teams, athletes and coaches with outstanding achievements this academic year.
This year, the Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) Annual Award in the category Lecturer of the Year was awarded to Ilze Štrumfa, a professor of the Department of Pathology of the Faculty of Medicine, who is considered by students to be one of the most empathetic and respected lecturers at RSU. Perhaps this is because she lives according to the philosophy of Imants Ziedonis: “Don’t trample a flower, don’t tread on other people’s souls, but walk close by, go around, stay close”…Working with students is Ilze Štrumfa’s love and lifestyle.
This year the Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) annual award in the category "Lecturer of the Year" in social sciences was awarded to lecturer of the Faculty of European Studies, Department of International Business and Economics Kristīne Blumfelde-Rutka, who is known for her outstanding organisational skills. She knows how to explain complicated things in simple words, finds practical everyday illustrations of the study content, brings students closer to entrepreneurs and employers and treats the study process with passion.
