Wim Swaan, member of the board of SIETAR Netherlands 2003-2004, was awarded with the Senior Education Prize 2003 for Excellence in Education by his employer, The Faculty of Economics and Business of University Maastricht (UM). The faculty is very international. Of a total of close to 4000 students, ca. 40% are from abroad, while another 10% are exchange students. The report of the jury mentions wide support for the nomination, among other things for his endeavours towards improving the multicultural classroom at UM, and his innovative ways of teaching in general.
