The Faculty Council of THI Business School has elected a new Dean of Education: Prof. Dr. Karin Schmidt, Professor of Business Administration, Accounting and Controlling, and Co-Programme Director of the International Management program. She takes over from Prof. Dr. Robert Wittmann, who held the post for 18 years. "Ensuring the quality of teaching is a whole new challenge, especially in these times," says Karin Schmidt after her election. "Just like Robert, a 'good connection' with our students is very important to me in this regard. I would like to continue his exemplary mediator role between students and teachers in a proven manner."

Prof. Schmidt's term of office begins on October 1, 2021.
