Running Dinner

The event for food lovers

Last week our legendary Running Dinner took place. The event is one of the easiest ways to get to know various students from other semesters on a very personal level and to have a great evening with them.

So what is Running Dinner all about?
The principle is simple: three students, who in most cases, don't know each other, prepare one dish for themselves and six other people. All students who participate are assigned to a group of three and to either preparing the appetizer, the main dish or dessert.

For every dish three different groups meet at somebody’s house and eat together. Afterwards they separate again and “run” (or take the car) to another place for the next dish, where they meet two other groups.

At the end of the night, there's a get together at a bar to meet all the other gourmets again, have some drinks together and discuss the best meals.

Experience sharing

Our IB 5 students just came back from their internship semester. They have been spread around the globe and got to know a lot of different companies and industries. Therefore it’s no surprise that the younger generation of IB students was eager to hear about their experiences.

This week the IB 5 students presented their companies, departments and tasks and gave first hand insight and advice to the students from the 3rd and 2nd semester.

Campus Tour - Building 5

A major part of choosing the right place to study is knowing what the campus looks like: its classrooms, its cafeteria, its library and its student housing. 

As most of you can't just come to visit us because you're from all over the world, we will take you on a little virtual campus tour every now and then to show you the most important places.

Today we start with the most important building for International Business students - building 5.

Welcome Freshmen!

New faces everywhere you go, campus tours and a whole lot of parties. All this can only mean one thing: our freshmen have finally arrived! Find out how we welcome our new students at the ESB.

Today is the day – we welcome our brand-new freshmen from all over the world!

Today our freshmen will see what campus and student life is like in Reutlingen. They will meet a lot of new people and their professors for the first time. Our International Business Student Committee, which we introduced to you last week, has organized a campus tour for the freshmen. Together they will explore the area of our campus in Reutlingen to show them all hotspots.

Introducing: Student Committee (StuCo)

Anna Kindlová, Lukas Zähringer, Francisco Yzusqui and Hannah Selbach 

Introduce yourself and tell us about your position in the StuCo and your tasks.

Francisco: I’m Francisco and I’m the current president of the Student Committee. My task is to have an overview over all internal and external activities that are going on at the ESB. Furthermore I’m also responsible for the supervision within the StuCo, like communication and finance. I would meet our student coordinators, Mrs Walker and Mrs Küster and our faculty adviser Mrs Werdich from time to time, in order to coordinate and organize events like the freshmen introductory day and some other events concerning the IB program. I also give each of the students a voice that is heard when major decisions for the ESB are made, coming together with other representatives from the Student Network, which is formed by the StuCo (IB), the Stubue (IMDD) and the StuVe (IOM). We meet once or twice a semester to discuss issues that concern the whole ESB in order to solve them and to present them in a meeting with the Dean, which takes place once a semester. 

7 tips for your start at the ESB

Freshmen, today it's getting serious for you! We've asked students from higher semesters to give you helpful tips for your start at the ESB.

Here they are. You're welcome.

Introducing: Außenwirtschaft/International Business GET TOGETHER

At the ESB networking is essential. Each day, we meet our classmates in lectures, the mensa or on campus. But that isn't enough for us! We also love to get in touch with former students, to ask them question about their carreer paths and of course tips for being successful inside and outside the classroom.

Gladly we are offered a great event bringing former fellow students, other Alumni as well as current International Business and Außenwirtschaft (former name of our program) students together.

This video explaines what the yearly AW/IB GET TOGETHER EVENT at Hochschule Reutlingen looks like.
The next GET TOGETHER will take place April 12. In case of questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Isabel or Nino (ib.gettogether@gmail.com) or Iris Walker (Iris.Walker@Reutlingen-University.de).
