Welcome Back & Award Dinner

In a festive ceremony during our Welcome (Back) & Award Dinner on Sunday night, College Master Klaus Schömann presented the inaugural Krupp College Award to third year student Sebastian Blümmert. This prize, which is endowed with €5000 donated by Jacobs University's Board of Governors, will be given out to an undergraduate or graduate student residing in Krupp College on an annual basis. It honours students' ability to balance a high level of academic achievement with outstanding extracurricular involvemen

Sebastian was selected because of his multiple involvement both in Krupp College and on the university level. A member of the college office team since his first semester, Sebastian dedicated far more than the hours he was paid for to the college. As an example, this website was developed by him. At the university level, Sebastian was a member of the Student Government for two years, took on increasingly important roles at the Model United Nations conference BRIMUN and is heavily involved in the TheaterSpace project, to name his most important activities onl

The award was handed over by special guest Dr. Thorsten Thiel, Vice President of Jacobs University, in front of almost all Kruppies who had gathered for the welcome back dinner, a splendid three-course meal served in a beautifully decorated servery. After the official presentation of the award, honorary member and former College Office Manager René Wells led the servery in a cheer for Sebastian, and some of his closest friends showed a presentation of Sebastian's Life at Jacobs University. The evening continued with a delightful programme of live music performed by Chen Cheng, Jan Pleser, Gürol Gezer, Tapiwa Mubeda and Warren John. MCs Cristina Calvopina and David Shumway did a great job at guiding the audience through the night.

- The organisers of the music events in Krupp, Philipp Herzberg, Tapiwa Mubeda and Gürol Gezer
