Compulsory events and presentation of institutions and initiatives
Wednesday, March 19
On Wednesday, March 19 , the Day of Initiatives and Institutions will take place.

RWU thrives on student participation. A large number of student initiatives have therefore been set up to help shape the university. Through their involvement, students have better career opportunities and the chance to think outside the box. Studies by the state of Baden-Württemberg also show that students who are involved at university are more likely to successfully complete their studies.
Some important compulsory events will also take place on this day from 8:00 a.m.:
- The introduction to examinations by Prof. Dr. Mauser.
- The lecture on occupational health and safety and fire safety at the university by Mr. Ries.
