Campus Pitch: International Outreach Connecting Student Initiatives and International Students

The Campus Pitch at the Otto-von-Guericke-University continues and international Students from all study backgrounds can expect an exciting opportunity!

On June 11, 2024 from 12:00 to 2 pm under the tent in front of building 18 on campus, international students can explore the university’s vast network of student initiatives, in short, 1-minute pitches. The event will take place in presence in English language under the tent in front of building 18. Register here now.

Representatives from the initiatives will share how you can get involved and actively shape your university experience and life on campus. Throughout the event, interested students will have the chance to further engage with the initiatives, chat with a representative, and potentially sign up for membership right then!

We take pride in our diverse student-run network that caters to various interests and talents. Joining a student group is an excellent way to socialize, meet like-minded individuals, and pursue your hobbies. Being part of a group greatly enhances the university experience and holds particular value for international students seeking language enhancement opportunities as well as wanting to feel more at home.
