In a very special year - HNU's anniversary year - this year's HNU graduates have received their diplomas. The university is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a festive program of 30 HNU anniversary events that represent its diversity and innovative spirit. As one of these events, the Graduate Gala 2024 was also held under the HNU anniversary motto "30Y - HNU connects."
Team spirit meets innovative and entrepreneurial spirit: Graduates are ready for the future
HNU President Prof. Dr. Uta M. Feser opened the graduation gala in the anniversary year with great praise: "Not only HNU looks back on your beginnings this year, you too have an eventful academic journey behind you, with many significant milestones, development steps and challenges mastered. The finale of this journey has been an outstanding success for you!". This refers not only to outstanding grades - a Bachelor's degree in Business Psychology with a grade of 1.1 and a Master's degree in Advanced Management with a grade of 1.0 - but also to the specialist knowledge and interdisciplinary skills that the graduates have acquired at HNU. "In numerous practical projects, you have proven that you can work both among yourselves and hand in hand with our partners from industry on ideas for current challenges.
Neu-Ulm's spokesperson for future issues, Robert Schwarz, also combined his congratulations with a review of the successful cooperation between the city and HNU students. According to Robert Schwarz, the city of Neu-Ulm would be delighted if the new graduates decided on a professional future in this prosperous region of innovation.
