Mark your calendar and get ready for a special evening! Diving into the new academic year, we will bring some celebratory vibes to the GCSC and IPP community: On October 15th we will celebrate our traditional Welcome and Graduation Ceremony in the Giessen city hall. The WeGraCe provides us with a festive occasion to welcome the 2025 cohorts of the GCSC and IPP and to applaud our graduates from the past year. As we are preluding our centre’s double anniversary in 2026, we are thrilled to applaud the start of the already 20th cohort at the GCSC—and even the XXIV cohort of the IPP.

While farewell and new beginnings stand right next to each other at the WeGraCe, we are delighted to welcome back Katarzyna Macedulska, 2010 alumna from our centre: In her commencement speech, she will take us along on her journey down memory lane to reflect on departures and fresh starts in academic life. The evening will be rounded off by some atmospheric music from talented community.

The event will start at 6 pm with a reception in the foyer of the city hall’s Hermann Levi Saal, Berliner Platz 1. After the official ceremony, everyone is invited to enjoy drinks and snacks together. An invitation with a link for registration has been sent out. If you would like to join and have not received a link for registration – or if you have any questions – please reach out to Sandra Engels.
