Ute Weisz receives the Bonn University Teaching Award Fourteen teachers honored for their outstanding commitment and creative ideas
Fourteen teachers at the University of Bonn have been presented with teaching prizes from the University in recognition of their dedication to the profession. The lecturers—six women and eight men—were chosen by the students themselves. They were handed their prize certificates by Prof. Dr. Klaus Sandmann, Vice Rector for Teaching, Learning and University Development, at a ceremony on the Hofgarten lawn in Bonn that formed part of the Universitätsfest and was attended by over 4,000 people.

Prof. Dr. Klaus Sandmann, Vice Rector for Teaching, Learning and University Development at the University of Bonn, thanked the teachers on its behalf for their outstanding hard work and dedication: “You have succeeded in conveying content to your students in a way that they understand and is relevant to the here and now, and the great enjoyment you get out of doing so is self-evident. Your motivation, your subject expertise and your methodological skills are clear to see. Your students appreciate how you regularly go beyond the call of duty, make an active contribution to curriculum development, are always looking for ways to improve how you teach, draw on the very latest research and help your students to turn their own research ideas into reality. I cannot agree more with these inspiring words from our students and would like to add my own heartfelt congratulations on top.”
