President’s speech

In his address, Thomas Biegerasked the question as to the right measure. Formerly, “in the ‘old days’ of national orientation,” said Bieger, there were clear-cut norms for business decisions, as well as a structure and orientation for private life plans. Today, structures no longer existed in this form and were confronted by extremes in every area of life. Thomas Biegergave the new graduates the following piece of advice: “make decisions about your own right measure – with moderation remaining a virtue to this day.”
