Under the motto “Strong into the New Year”, the university family came together after the Christmas break for a joint event to kick off the new year with fresh ideas and a good mood for a successful 2026.
Prof. Dr. Cynthia Sende kicked off the event with some food for thought on popular New Year’s resolutions and entertained the packed Audimax with the message “From good intentions to good habits: how goal setting and self-control really work”.
At the subsequent get-together, the student café “Zur Auszeit” provided employees with delicious drinks, the Max butcher’s shop served Schnitz & Baggala and Indian curry and live music from our university band “HofStadtFunk” ensured a good (dancing) atmosphere.
