(31) Prof. Dr. Karl Lenz (Antrag des Rektorats), Verleihung am 23. Juni 2023
Prof. Karl Lenz received the Medal of Honor as a key initiator and source of inspiration for the quality management of studies and teaching at TU Dresden. For over a decade, the sociologist served as director of the Center for Quality Analysis, for which he developed instruments, strategies and structures since 1995. These are continually developed and refined at the Competence Center for Education and University Research, which he co-founded. The methods developed by Prof. Lenz have had a substantial impact on course management at the university. In 2008, his Dresden alumni study was extended to all state-run universities in Saxony, including universities of applied science. In addition, Karl Lenz served as Vice-Rector Academic Affairs and Vice-Rector for University Development at TU Dresden, helping to shape the university in a profound way over the course of ten years.
