Welcome to PH Schwäbisch Gmünd: Freshers celebrate with a city tour!
The introductory week for new first-year students began at the Schwäbisch Gmünd University of Education on April 18, 2025. Rector Sabla-Dimitrov welcomed the new students and emphasized the central role of the university in this special anniversary year. The student representatives, including the student self-government AStA, the student parliament and the Matrikü(h)l Café, also prepared a warm welcome.
The first mayor, Christian Baron, took the opportunity to emphasize the importance of educational work in the region and to wish the new students much success. In the first days of the introductory week, the newcomers not only received organizational information, but also strategic impulses and an introduction to their subjects of study.
Program of the introductory week
The introductory week program was extensive and offered numerous opportunities for networking and orientation. It included mentoring groups, curriculum consultations and open exchange opportunities. A popular event was the campus tour, during which students discovered important places at the university. The first day of the week ended with a city tour of Schwäbisch Gmünd, followed by a champagne reception in the town hall, to which Mayor Richard Arnold invited.
