The Stu­dent Pres­i­dent is the chair­per­son of the Gen­er­al Stu­dent Com­mit­tee (AStA) and thus the high­est exec­u­tive body of the stu­dent body.

He/she is elect­ed by the stu­dent par­lia­ment usu­al­ly for one year.

The tasks of the pres­i­dent are very diverse and extensive:

• Con­ven­ing and chair­ing the AStA meetings
• Coor­di­na­tion and sup­port of the AStA depart­ments as well as the stu­dent rep­re­sen­ta­tive chair­per­sons at the location
• Per­son­nel respon­si­bil­i­ty for the per­ma­nent employ­ees of the stu­dent body
• Rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the stu­dent body inter­nal­ly and externally

• Com­mu­ni­cate and col­lab­o­rate and attend meet­ings and appoint­ments with uni­ver­si­ty leadership
• Mon­i­tor­ing the imple­men­ta­tion of the res­o­lu­tions of the stu­dent parliament
• Cen­tral con­tact per­son for the stu­dent body for both stu­dents and the university
• Rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the stu­dents’ inter­ests towards the university

Mon­ey, mon­ey, mon­ey… that’s what the Finance Unit is all about.

One of our tasks is the prepa­ra­tion of the bud­get. This is where the dis­tri­b­u­tion of the mon­ey to the indi­vid­ual units and depart­ments is deter­mined. So we make sure that your €25.00 goes to the right projects: We are respon­si­ble for mak­ing sure that the mon­ey is spent wise­ly and that all stu­dents of the uni­ver­si­ty ben­e­fit from it. Fur­ther­more, we are respon­si­ble for the account­ing of the stu­dent body and are the con­tact per­son for all depart­ments and stu­dent coun­cils in finan­cial matters. 

Do you have any ques­tions or want to join the finance depart­ment, just drop us a mail.

Our unit stands for fun, joy and good humor!

We plan var­i­ous excur­sions for the entire uni­ver­si­ty for the stu­dents and have a lot of fun and a lot of laughs on the trips. The focus here — as the name sug­gests — is on sports and cul­ture. We vary from semes­ter to semes­ter with our excur­sion des­ti­na­tions, so there is some­thing for every­one. Espe­cial­ly for incom­ing stu­dents, these excur­sions are a great way to make new con­tacts and get to know stu­dent life from a dif­fer­ent perspective.

At AStA and stu­dent par­lia­ment meet­ings, we report on the cur­rent sit­u­a­tion and upcom­ing events. For us it is impor­tant that the stu­dents also have a say in which excur­sions are planned. For this pur­pose, reg­u­lar polls are con­duct­ed so that every vote counts.

Since Heil­bronn Uni­ver­si­ty has many cam­pus­es, it is impor­tant to us to ensure that all stu­dents at Heil­bronn Uni­ver­si­ty, inde­pen­dent of the loca­tion, have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to par­tic­i­pate in our rides.

The excur­sions nat­u­ral­ly adapt to the sea­sons and offer stu­dents the chance to meet new peo­ple in the con­text of an excursion.

Pop­u­lar trips include a musi­cal out­ing, a trip to an amuse­ment park, a trip to the Stuttgart Spring Fes­ti­val, a trip to the musi­cal, or in the win­ter, a trip to the Christ­mas mar­ket in Stras­bourg. A pub crawl is also offered each semester.

In Coro­na times, the out­ing options have changed some­what. For exam­ple, online activ­i­ties such as a vir­tu­al fresh­man brunch, online Escape Room, cook­ing events, or an eSports tour­na­ment are increas­ing­ly offered.

The activ­i­ties in the win­ter semes­ter 2021/2022 are based on the fed­er­al reg­u­la­tions for the pur­pose of the pan­dem­ic. Cur­rent­ly (as of Octo­ber 2021), events will be held in atten­dance, in com­pli­ance with the 2G/3G rule. All cur­rent infor­ma­tion will be updat­ed reg­u­lar­ly by us on the site.

You are wel­come to send us your ideas, crit­i­cism and praise by mail at any time.

First and fore­most, we relieve and sup­port the employ­ee in mar­ket­ing and com­mu­ni­ca­tion by, for exam­ple, tak­ing over parts of the social media tasks.

In addi­tion, we take care of larg­er mar­ket­ing projects, which require more time, such as the cre­ation of a new fly­er, etc.

Anoth­er area of respon­si­bil­i­ty is to take care of the appear­ance of the AStA at events, such as the fresh­man wel­come, gen­er­al meet­ing, etc..

If you have any sug­ges­tions, ideas or crit­i­cism for us, just send us an email.

The depart­ment for pol­i­tics, also called the exter­nal depart­ment, takes care of the con­cerns of the stu­dent body at the state polit­i­cal lev­el. The head of the depart­ment is on site and rep­re­sents the stu­dent body of Heil­bronn Uni­ver­si­ty in cur­rent issues of the stu­dent body in the state par­lia­ment as well as in dis­cus­sions with the Min­is­ter of Sci­ence, Research and the Arts.

If you have any sug­ges­tions, ideas or crit­i­cism for us, just send us an email.

In the past, the Press Depart­ment took care of ver­bronxt. and makes sure that you are always kept up to date on every­thing impor­tant and unim­por­tant that hap­pens in the AStA, at the uni­ver­si­ty and in our Bronx.

How­ev­er, the press office will be relaunched. The new focus is in area suc­cess sto­ries and research from your fel­low HHN stu­dents, staff and fac­ul­ty. You will uncov­er these sto­ries, inter­view those involved, and derive press releas­es from your notes. 

In addi­tion, you build a LinkedIN chan­nel on which you then pub­lish the suc­cess sto­ries and research of your fel­low stu­dents. Besides LinkedIN, a pod­cast is also con­ceiv­able, in which you can con­duct real interviews.

In addi­tion, you will sup­port the Exec­u­tive Board in gen­er­al press rela­tions. This means that you will work togeth­er on inter­view requests from exter­nal and inter­nal sources.

At AStA events you are also at the start and col­lect raw mate­r­i­al for mar­ket­ing (pic­ture and video record­ings). If nec­es­sary, you can also write a press release for the event.

You work close­ly with the mar­ket­ing depart­ment of the AStA and coor­di­nate your edi­to­r­i­al plan with them. Except for the coor­di­na­tion of the top­ics, you have a free hand and can give free rein to your creativity.

Your goal is to show HHN stu­dents what’s going on at HHN and inspire them through suc­cess stories.

If you have any sug­ges­tions, ideas or crit­i­cism for us, just send us an email.

On the one hand, the unit deals with top­ics relat­ed to equal oppor­tu­ni­ties and diver­si­ty and works close­ly with the Sen­ate Com­mit­tee for Equal­i­ty and Diver­si­ty and the university’s Equal Oppor­tu­ni­ty Offi­cer to this end.

The unit plans projects for the LGBTQIA+ com­mu­ni­ty and is the con­tact per­son on the stu­dent side. The orga­ni­za­tion of events on the social lev­el also fall with­in the scope of activ­i­ties, such as the orga­ni­za­tion of a blood dona­tion cam­paign or a DKMS reg­is­tra­tion campaign. 

The offi­cer is also respon­si­ble for the area of stu­dent ser­vices. The tasks include tak­ing up the inter­ests of the stu­dents in mat­ters of dor­mi­to­ries, cater­ing sit­u­a­tion (i.e. refec­to­ry, cafe­te­ria and vend­ing machines), coun­sel­ing ser­vices and the like.

The depart­ment meets reg­u­lar­ly with the Hei­del­berg Stu­dent Union Board of Direc­tors and the respec­tive depart­ment heads in order to achieve the best for Heil­bronn Uni­ver­si­ty and its students.

In addi­tion, the head of the unit must attend the Admin­is­tra­tive Board meet­ings of the Stu­dent Union and also present the results of the work in the unit to the AStA.

Due to the spe­cial con­struct of Heil­bronn Uni­ver­si­ty, it has proven use­ful to also hold the meet­ings at the var­i­ous cam­pus­es in order to also make direct inspec­tions of prob­lem­at­ic areas with the Studieren­den­werk here and to cre­ate a larg­er mouth­piece through the stu­dent coun­cils, since they usu­al­ly have more direct con­tact with the respec­tive stu­dents of the campuses.

So if any­thing both­ers you, if there is some­thing that could be done bet­ter, just write us a short e‑mail and we will try to imple­ment your wish­es and suggestions!

The stu­dent rep­re­sen­ta­tive chair­per­sons (StuV chair­per­sons) rep­re­sent the stu­dent pres­i­dent at the cam­pus­es of the uni­ver­si­ty. Each uni­ver­si­ty loca­tion (Heil­bronn, Künzel­sau and Schwäbisch Hall) has its own stu­dent rep­re­sen­ta­tion. As the name sug­gests, it rep­re­sents the inter­ests of all stu­dents at the respec­tive location.

This is done by the var­i­ous StuV depart­ments at each loca­tion. It is in con­stant con­tact with the stu­dent coun­cils and stu­dent asso­ci­a­tions and works with them to orga­nize larg­er events for the loca­tion, among oth­er things. It also takes care of the leisure pro­gram (such as sports, uni­ver­si­ty band, stu­dent ini­tia­tives, etc.) and ensures that res­o­lu­tions of the stu­dent par­lia­ment are imple­ment­ed at the location.
