I studied intercultural German studies and history at the University of Bayreuth. After my master's degree, I did my doctorate on the change in meaning of the concept of tolerance in the old Federal Republic. Today I am chancellor of H:G University for Health and sport. How did that happen?
Valuable experiences in intercultural cooperation
Already during my doctorate, I was head of the Career Service at the University of Bayreuth. In 2000, I went to Accra in Ghana (Africa) as a lecturer of the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) to set up the first DAAD information center in Africa. After three years working in Ghana, I moved 2003 to Sydney, Australia, where he also set up a DAAD information center, and was also a lecturer at the Department of Germanic Studies at the University of Sydney.
With the establishment and operation of DAAD information centers at two very different locations, I gained valuable experience in various areas of work, starting with the classic DAAD areas of responsibility such as study and scholarship advice, alumni support, university marketing and the development of country-specific information Online– and print offers, to fields of activity that included the areas of Quality Assurance/ Benchmarking, Higher Education Financing and Internationalization of Higher Education.
Global learning as a permanent task
Above all, my time as a DAAD lecturer in Ghana sharpened my eye for the terms we use today: empty phrases such as 'cultural mediator' and 'global player' have been filled with life, they have taken shape and are firmly associated with certain experiences. As little as 'cultural mediator' designates an attribute that one can choose or write, it seems to me that it's not about being a 'player'.
In both cases it is about work, about the effort of a learning process. As such a 'global learner', one is confronted with the permanent task of coming to terms with one's host country, even where there can actually be no consensus due to the different cultural background, of enduring repeated experiences of failure and, despite everything, making a new start . And perhaps the greatest effort is to Humour not to verlieren...
New challenges in Germany
In July 2005 I returned to Germany and was initially in the international Office of the Federal Ministry of Education and research before moving to the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich in 2006. I was in the staff office there Strategy and development as Bologna coordinator responsible for the conversion of the diploma and master’s degreeCourses to the tiered study system.
Today I am chancellor of the H: G College of Health and Sports. The opportunity to work in this position at a university arose through contacts from my many years Network, which I had systematically built up. Think Tasks include the management of university administration, ensuring the technical framework conditions for university operations and facility management. I am still for them Planning and organizational implementation of the accreditation.
