At Furtwangen University, an eventful year is drawing to a close, one in which we experienced many valuable moments and encounters. With the slogan “The best time. Since 1850,” in November we celebrated our university's 175th anniversary! We welcomed many distinguished guests from politics, business, and society to the anniversary celebrations. Petra Olschowski, Minister of Science, Research, and the Arts for Baden-Württemberg, honoured us in her speech with high praise and encouragement for the development of our university. We enjoyed a thoroughly harmonious celebration that still resonates with us today.
Even aside from the anniversary, we have started a winter semester that motivates us in every way − our first-year students were welcomed with a variety of programmes organised by the faculties, which were not only about getting started at university, but also about having fun together. We are delighted that our courses are so well received – 97% of our students recommend us on the Studycheck portal! Our student numbers are also developing very positively.
We welcomed Andreas Friedrich as the new Head of Administration of our university to the executive team. We look forward to working with him!
In October, we also gained in Olympic champion Dr. Georg Hettich, a great ambassador for our elite sports programme. And with the inauguration of a new outdoor training facility, our Furtwangen campus has gained a new highlight.
These are just a few of the diverse topics in our university world, we would like to use our newsletter to show you.
I hope you enjoy reading it!
Warm Advent greetings,
Dr. Alexandra Bormann
President, Furtwangen University
