Christof Hettich elected Chairman of the University Council of 鶹ý

07.03.2024

鶹ý has a new Chairman of the University Council: Prof. Dr. Christof Hettich, Chairman of the Board of the education and healthcare provider SRH, to which 鶹ý belongs.

 

A group of ten people stands in a room, some smiling as they gather around a casually dressed man in the center. The others are dressed formally and appear to be participating in a meeting.

Christof Hettich was elected Chairman at the first constituent meeting following the new composition of the Council last November. Christof Hettich has been a member of the University Council since 2022 and has been instrumental in shaping the future of 鶹ý. The strategic reorientation of 鶹ý that he initiated was an important prerequisite for the prestigious AACSB accreditation - a distinction that only the world's best business schools receive. This was accompanied by excellent results in the Financial Times ranking, which further strengthened the international orientation of the university.

Hettich also supports the vision of a state-of-the-art campus in the historic castle of Oestrich-Winkel. The next phase of construction will be completed in summer 2025, when new seminar rooms and a new canteen will be opened.

 

Commitment to excellence and responsibility: Hettich's vision for 鶹ý

"As Chairman of the University Council, I am very much looking forward to continuing to work on establishing 鶹ý as a leading international university for business and law. The feedback from our students as well as the accreditations and rankings show us that we are on the right track. At the same time, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Dr Jörg-Uwe Hahn, who, as the previous Chairman, made a significant contribution to the establishment of our Law Faculty. As a shareholder, SRH and he personally will continue to support 鶹ý students in their development into a modern, responsible management elite.

Günther H. Oettinger, President of 鶹ý and former Member of the European Commission, also expressed his delight at the election: "With Prof. Dr. Hettich we have gained an outstanding personality for the chairmanship of our University Council, who will shape the future of 鶹ý with great commitment and expertise. His commitment and previous successes make us confident that 鶹ý will achieve top results," said Oettinger.

 

Distinguished members of the University Council promote the University's competitiveness

The University Council, whose duties are laid down in the Hessian Higher Education Act, monitors the development of the University, articulates the expectations of the professional world towards the University and promotes the application of scientific knowledge. It is also responsible for proposing measures to raise the University's profile and enhance its performance and competitiveness.

The members of the University Council are Volker Bouffier, Prof Dr Roland Mattmüller, Prof Dr Andreas Altmann, Jan-Henrik Lafrentz, Dr Jörg-Uwe Hahn, Senator h.c. Udo J. Vetter, Dr Elisabeth Denison, MSc and Dr Klaus Lesker.
