Dr. Andreas Gissel, Professor of Business Administration, in particular Logistics and Organization at the Department of Marketing and Human Resource Management at HWG LU was honored by Science Minister Konrad Wolf for his outstanding achievements in university teaching with the Teaching Award of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate. The prize is endowed with 10,000 € and is awarded by the Ministry of Science, Further Education and Culture (MWWK) every two years.
For his outstandingachievements in university teaching, Prof. Dr. Andreas Gissel, Chair of Business Administration, in particular Logistics and Organization, at the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences, has received the Rhineland-Palatinate Teaching Award for Universities in the subject group of Social Sciences, Law, Economics, Art and Music. In doing so, the state honored his great commitment to teaching and to the students: "You do a great job and are important contacts for the students," said Minister Wolf in his laudatory speech for the ten award winners.
Prof. Dr. Andreas Gissel was very pleased about the award: "I think it's great that teaching at our university has been put in the spotlight by this competition. In fact, I think that many colleagues at HWG LU are doing an excellent job in this regard. Therefore, I already felt that the nomination by the department was an award. The news that I am now even one of the award winners is of course wonderful feedback - not only for me, but also for our entire university," said Gissel, explaining, "Good teaching can only develop in a positive environment. In my opinion, this includes freedom, e.g. with regard to the design of events and the exchange with students. I have always found this creative freedom at HWG LU since I started 38 semesters ago, and I am extremely grateful for that! In the end, it's precisely this freedom-filled, fault-tolerant environment that keeps motivating me to try out new topics and event forms." Gissel plans to use the €10,000 prize money to further internationalize teaching.
The university management and the Department of Marketing and Human Resource Management were also pleased with the award winner: "Professor Andy Gissel has not only taught with enthusiasm in his core topics of logistics and supply chain management for many years. Rather, he always seeks interfaces with other disciplines and moves into new fields. A very good example is the course on project management in the academic continuing education program for nursing professionals as part of the "E hoch B" open university project. In this way, Professor Gissel contributes a lot to the interdisciplinarity of the university and shows himself to be a big fan of "lived diversity" of the students and the faculty," explained Prof. Dr. Ellen Bareis, Vice President for Studies and Teaching, Quality Management and Arts and Culture. "Our faculty nominated Andreas Gissel because he always does an extraordinary job in teaching in addition to his great commitment to self-administration, and students in numerous study programs benefit from this. We are proud of our colleague. He absolutely deserves the award," emphasized Dean Prof. Dr. Klaus Blettner.
