GREETING. During her six-year tenure as vice dean for education, Silvana Naredi has both met and worked with many different colleagues. She wants to extend her thanks to all of you, as she is stepping down from this position.
To all the lecturers, administrators, study counsellors, accountants, public relations officers; to all who have been on the committee on education, the budget group, the steering committee for KTC, the committee for inter-professional learning; to those working within quality control, to those participating in the Canvass Group, and in the REDO group; in short, thanks to everyone I have had the opportunity to work with concerning educational and academic matters at Sahlgrenska Academy since 2014.
I want to extend a big THANK YOU to all of you for your commitment, hard work and patience, and for the great loyalty you have shown to our academic programs. Not least of all, for the great show of strength exhibited during the past year’s pandemic.
The quality of a Faculty’s academic programs depends on everyone continually striving for improvement and ongoing development. It requires a willingness to pose questions and a desire to more forward. These are indeed qualities I have encountered everywhere at Sahlgrenska.
Stay on this path; a good education is the foundation and creates the conditions for exemplary health care, medical care, and dental care as well as excellent research.
Personally, I have had a fantastic time. It has been gratifying to see so many creative ideas take shape, to have engaged in so many interesting discussions and to have participated in so very many new developments.
Here in Akademiliv, I want to extend a special thanks to my closest colleagues: Annelie Hyllner, Charlotte Gripenberg, Jonas Gren, and Kristina Johansson, so that everyone understands what important contributions they have made during my time as vice dean.
Annelie, thank you for being my rock in the stormy sea that has been the pandemic. Sometimes you let out a small sigh, but it turned quickly into a happy laugh.
Thank you, Charlotte. We would not have been able to accomplish so much without your independent and capable administrative support and your positive attitude towards the many different tasks you were asked to assist with.
To Jonas, the true master of the Higher Education Ordinance and the guardian of high-quality academic education, thank you for sometimes asking us to think things through one extra time.
Kristina, the numbers fairy, thank you for your wonderful sense of humor that has taught me to see numbers in a bright array of colors.
Once again, THANK YOU ALL for these past years. I will miss you greatly.
Silvana Naredi
