On 29.04.2017, the central graduation ceremony of our university will take place for the seventh time. Central means that the invited Bachelor's, Diploma and Master's graduates from all degree programs and both locations will be bid farewell together. In a festive setting and usually in the presence of their proud families, the graduates are released into their new phase of life by representatives of the faculties and with a small gift from the HSZG.
The ceremony is accompanied by a musical program, which will also highlight the festive occasion this year. Every year, the HSZG's sponsorship association awards prizes to the best graduates and students of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, for the first time this year as part of the central exmatriculation ceremony.
The second highlight of the day is the joint naming of the graduates' tree in the student park. This was planted in 2009 on the open space on the corner of Kantstraße and Hochwaldstraße on the initiative of the Student Council. At that time, the first 15 trees were planted together with the mayor of Zittau, the rectors and the student council. Since then, 23 new trees have been added. This means that the "Acer pseudoplatanus" (a sycamore maple) to be christened on April 29 will be the 39th tree to green the student park. For the fourth time, hundreds of green balloons will decorate the Zittau sky, with which the graduates can send their wishes and dreams.
The day will be rounded off with the graduates' ball in the evening, where the celebrations and dancing will continue well into the night. For the first time, the graduates' ball will take place in the Zittauer Volkshaus at Äußere Weberstraße 6. Right in the first hour, even before the extensive buffet is opened, the festively dressed graduates are photographed by our professional photographer. Later in the evening, a so-called photo box will ensure that individual memories of this special day can be captured for eternity. Musically, we are particularly looking forward to the Liberec Big O Band, which will ensure an unforgettable graduation ball.
