Golden diploma for chemistry graduates
On April 28, 2022, not one but two cohorts of former chemistry seminar groups whose graduation from the TU Dresden dates back more than 50 years met. The class of 1972 around Wolfgang Hoffmann came back to the alma mater and was welcomed in the lecture hall by Prof. Michael Ruck with a presentation on chemistry at the TU Dresden. In further lectures, the guests learned news about the construction activities as well as historical facts about the garden monuments on the campus. The group even had the opportunity to visit the renovated Fritz-Förster-Bau, which was used by the chemistry department for a long time. The class of 1971 around Karlheinz Deutsch met with 30 former fellow students at Gasthof Coschütz in the afternoon. A special surprise for both groups was the presentation of the golden diploma certificates by Susann Mayer, the TU Dresden's graduate officer. "The diplomas at that time didn't look that nice", the "golden" graduates agreed.
