Greeting from the president on the re-election

Dear stu­dents,
Dear col­leagues in tea­ching and ad­mi­nis­tra­ti­on,

The ex­ten­ded Se­na­te has re-elec­ted me as Pre­si­dent. I would like to thank you very much for the trust you have pla­ced in me. I am de­light­ed to be able to con­ti­nue the suc­cess­ful de­ve­lop­ment of the HfMDK tog­e­ther with you, with the peop­le who stu­dy, teach and work here, as well as tho­se who ac­com­pa­ny us as fri­ends in po­li­tics and so­cie­ty.

For me, art is ex­pe­ri­ence and in­sight, dif­fe­ren­tia­ti­on and em­pa­thy. Art has a spe­cial si­gni­fi­can­ce in times of in­crea­sing bru­ta­li­sa­ti­on in our world and so­cie­ty, in which crea­ti­vi­ty and re­flec­tion can crea­te a uto­pi­an place of hu­ma­ni­ty. We want to shape the­se op­por­tu­nities with con­fi­dence.

The most im­portant pro­ject of my se­cond term of of­fice re­mains the ur­gent­ly nee­ded new buil­ding for the HfMDK. I de­mand de­cisi­ons from the new go­vernment in Hes­se.

I in­vi­te you to join me in ta­king re­spon­si­bi­li­ty for our uni­ver­si­ty in our re­spec­tive ro­les and re­spon­si­bi­li­ties. For me, my re-elec­tion is an af­fir­ma­ti­on of the path we have ta­ken and at the same time a man­da­te to take a clo­ser look at the in­ter­nal de­ve­lop­ment of our uni­ver­si­ty with cri­ti­cal re­flec­tion, star­ting with my own re­spon­si­bi­li­ty and lea­dership.

The elec­tion pha­se led to an in­ten­se dia­lo­gue wi­t­hin our uni­ver­si­ty. Dif­fe­rent per­spec­tives, di­vi­si­ons and chal­len­ges be­ca­me ap­pa­rent. A de­cisi­on has now been made. I en­cou­ra­ge us to con­ti­nue to de­ve­lop our uni­ver­si­ty with a sen­se of com­mu­ni­ty and appre­cia­ti­on.

I will con­ti­nue to do all I can for the HfMDK and, above all, for you, who make our uni­ver­si­ty spe­cial. I look for­ward to con­ti­nuing to work with you!

Yours sin­ce­rely
El­mar Ful­da
