On Thursday, December 5, 2024, during a session of the Scientific Board of Matej Bel University (MBU), Prof. PaedDr. Ľudmila Jančoková, CSc., the first woman to hold the title of professor in sports sciences at MBU, ceremonially received her Emeritus Professor decree from the hands of MBU Rector Assoc. Prof. Ing. Vladimír Hiadlovský, PhD. Prof. Jančoková began her career in 1977 as an assistant at the Faculty of Education in Banská Bystrica. From 1980 to 1984, she served as a methodologist at VŠTJ Slávia FE Banská Bystrica. She then worked as a senior lecturer until 1998, became an associate professor from 1998 to 2001, and, starting January 1, 2002, held the position of professor at institutions that later formed today’s FSSH MBU. Throughout her tenure at MBU, Prof. Jančoková made significant contributions both professionally and socially, leaving a lasting legacy.
We are proud to announce that Prof. PaedDr. Ľudmila Jančoková, CSc. has become the first individual at the FSSH MBU to hold the esteemed position of Emeritus Professor in the very first year of FSSH inclusion within the structure of Matej Bel University.
Congratulations, and we look forward to continued collaboration!
