GREETINGS FROM OUTI AARRESOLA, THE WINNER OF THE 2023 TEACHER OF THE YEAR AWARD

”Thank you again to Sporticus and all the students for the Teacher of the Year 2023 title! I started working at the faculty in the fall of 2022 as a substitute lecturer, so I haven’t even had the chance to teach many of you. Teaching has been one of the most exciting jobs in my career. It’s delightful to work together with you, intelligent young people, to make course content familiar and understandable. Thank you for your attentive participation and support during the courses. Also, thanks for understanding when things don’t go as planned, and the red thread or file in Moodle is a bit lost. Finally, a big thank you for the great feedback – it is important and heartwarming, I appreciate it! Wishing everyone a joyful year of study!”
