54 MILLER / SEPTEMBER 2022 NEWS On July 8, 2022, the nine successful graduates of the German Milling School Braunschweig (DMSB) re- ceived their certificates and diplomas during the graduation ceremony and now hold the title "Bachelor Professional in Technology" or "Technician for Mill Construction, Grain and Feed Technology". For the DMSB graduating class of 2022, July 8 was a special day: one female and eight male graduates received their cer- tificates and diplomas during the graduation ceremony. About 60 guests had accepted the invitation to the Brunswick restau- rant LaCupola. After the principal Jörg Gerling welcomed the attendees, the pedagogical director Georg Böttcher and the entire faculty handed over the long-awaited graduation docu- ments. The course of study at the DMSB now also concludes for the second time with the international title “Bachelor Profes- sional in Technology”. In addition to their studies at the DMSB, seven of the students also successfully faced the Master Ex- amination Board. Further speeches and words of welcome came from the city mayor of Braunschweig, Annegret Ihbe, as well as from Alexander Schnelle, Chairman of the sponsoring association, which actively supports the DMSB. Cash prizes from the Milling Pension Fund to the three stu- dents with the best average grade on their final report cards went to Maren Sting, Jeffrey Freiter and Markus Bröer. These three students also made up the team that produced the best project work, for which they were also awarded the Karl-Heinz Gericke Prize of the “Glück zu” fraternity, for the best-graded final paper. Praising words for these three and all other graduates were also found by Michael Kammann, president of the fraternity “Glück zu”, who in his following greeting emphasized the suc- cessful cooperation of fraternity, sponsoring association and DMSB and the advantages of this worldwide network. In addi- tion, he said goodbye to four members who are now leaving the presidium: the students who have already been named, as well as Leonard Sökefeld. Finally, Jeffrey Freiter took the floor on behalf of the stu- dents, recalled the numerous events and school trips of the last two years and thanked all teachers and staff of the DMSB. Afterwards, the social part of the evening began with a mixture of joy about what had been achieved and melancholy about the farewell.
