Alumni Prize for Social Involvement

Each year the booster association Alumni Freiburg e.V. recognizes individual students or student groups for their social involvement. In 2016 the prize had two winners: Raphael Siepe was awarded for his work at “Kinderherzen retten e.V.” and Giorgi Gelantia for building up a network of business administration and economics students.

The platform is now used by more than 1200 students, and the community is still growing! more…
