Anyone who successfully completed their degree program or doctorate at Chemnitz University of Technology in the winter semester 2017/2018 will have the chance to reflect on this occasion on Saturday, June 2nd, 2018. On this day, the annual Graduation Celebration Event will take place. All registered graduates will experience an unforgettable day with their families and friends in the St. Petri Church from 2 p.m. till 4 p.m. Entry starts at 12.30 p.m.
Following the welcoming speech of the University President Prof. Gerd Strohmeier and greetings from Sören Uhle, managing director of the Chemnitz Wirtschaftsförderungs- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH, the program centers around the honoring of all graduates. Furthermore, the Chemnitz Commerzbank AG will award two dissertation prizes. Musical accompaniment is provided by the Collegium musicum orchestra. Poetry slammer Erik Leichter will also perform at the event. At the end of the Celebration Event all graduates will come together for the traditional group photo with the University President. Anyone interested can wind down the rest of the ceremonial day at the “TUCSommernacht” event.
