Around 2,900 employees and more than 15,500 students - there are as many people at the university as in a small town. In our anniversary year, we are introducing one of these people every week for a whole year.
Scientist, canteen cook, librarian, caretaker or lifeguard: the academic appointments at the University of Oldenburg are as diverse as the people who do them. It is impossible to know them all. After all, they not only work at the Haarentor and Wechloy campuses, but also at the branch of the Institute of Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment in Wilhelmshaven, in the university clinics or at other, smaller university locations.
The anniversary series "50 years, 50 people" is intended to help you get to know some of them a little better. Every week, the Press and Communication Office introduces a new face, alternating between a video and a written interview. All interviewees complete five sentence beginnings and reveal, for example, who they would like to swap places with at the university and what wishes they would like to pass on to the "birthday boy or girl".
New interviews will be prominently placed on the anniversary website for a week. At the same time, all previously published interviews can be viewed on an overview page, which will continue to grow over the course of the year - until 50 people have answered questions after 50 weeks.
