Saskia Tempelman has received the Julianapenning of the University of Twente at her farewell reception on Thursday 2 March. This award exists since 2000 and goes to people with great merits for the UT: employees, students or people from outside the University of Twente.
Saskia will retire on 1 April 2023 after more than 45 years of service. She joined ITC at the age of 20, on 13 September 1977, where she started as a secretary. When ITC and UT merged in 2010, Saskia also joined UT, and became part of the Marketing & Communications department in 2013. From her role there, she was still closely involved with ITC.
Saskia supported many academics in organising conferences and events. She also trained as a translator and was happy to assist colleagues in editing texts. For PhD candidates at ITC, she was a great support: she knew them all, and stood by them in word and deed. She was always equally helpful to everyone, as hostess, translator, ICT support person, web editor.
