Rector Klaus Näscher and the Chair of the University Senate, Professor Stefan Güldenberg, together with the academic directors of the various courses, conferred degrees in the faculties of Architecture and Economics on the students attending. In his welcoming speech, Klaus Näscher declared emphatically: ‘Successes, like failures and new beginnings, are natural happenings on your path through life. Just stick to the well-established rule – Get up one more time than you fall down! Doing the right thing often means just wanting to do it. So never give up, follow your inner compass, be courageous and do what is right for you.’

Rector Klaus Näscher

Hereditary Prince  Alois of Liechtenstein congratulated the successful graduates on completion of their courses, and stressed: ‘You have shown great persistence and commitment in achieving your degrees, and so established an excellent basis for your future careers. I hope that you will get a lot of happiness from putting into practice what you have learned from your studies, both to your own benefit and for the good of society.’
