On behalf of the entire board, Mr. Fehr thanked the members for the confidence they had shown and for their active participation in the general meeting: "It is a great help to the University Society that the university - starting with the president and the chancellor - always actively supports us in our work. For this, too, our thanks."

In the Universitätsgesellschaft Kassel e.V. citizens from North Hesse, representatives of companies, associations, chambers, clubs, parties, cultural societies, personalities from administration and culture have joined together to support the University of Kassel ideally and materially. The UGK accompanies and secures the development of the university, promotes the relationship between scientific and artistic work and consolidates the anchoring of the university in the North Hessian region.
