Honorary Senators

The Honorary Senator title is the highest honor bestowed by the University of Hohenheim.

It pays respect to the continuous and unselfish commitment of persons who are not members or affiliates of the University and who have rendered outstanding services to the welfare of the University of Hohenheim.

High-ranking personalities from business and society are among Hohenheim's honorary senators. They help to integrate the University into its non-scientific environment and provide important and sustainable support for science and research.
The Senate of the University of Hohenheim decides on the conferment of the Honorary Senator title.
