The event kicks off with a welcome speech for the »newbies« by Prof. Peter Benz, President of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, and Dr. Simon Frisch, Vice-President of Student & Academic Affairs. This will be followed by a welcome speech by Mayor of Weimar, Peter Kleine. Afterwards, members of the StuKo (Student Government) will deliver their own speeches to the first-semester students.

Dr. Theres Rohde, Director of the Museums für konkrete Kunst Ingolstadt and alumna of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, will also give a speech to the first-semester students before the University Prizes are awarded by Prof. Peter Benz.
