21 May 2014. In March 2014, the University of St.Gallen looked for a man and a woman for the cover picture through its social media channels. The only condition was that the two had to be members of the HSG. The choice fell on the students Klara Zimmermann and Wilson Sequeira.
On the cover on one occasion
Chance brought it about that from among all the 7,666 HSG students, two undergraduates were selected. Furthermore, both of them are reading Business Administration in the fourth semester. Nonetheless, it was at the photo shoot in early April that they met for the first time – small wonder with more than 1,500 students in this Bachelor major (spread across all the semesters).
When asked why they responded to the appeal in the social media, Klara Zimmermann answered: "As a student, I identify with the University. And in nearly two years at the HSG, I now feel at home here." Wilson Sequeira confirmed this; in this way, he would be able to give something back to the HSG for once, adding with a chuckle: "And I've always wanted to be on a cover anyway!"
From the students' angle
If we look at the figures of the University of St.Gallen from Klara Zimmermann's and Wilson Sequeira's perspectives, we get the following picture:
Besides student numbers, "The HSG: a portrait. Facts and figures" also reveals figures about research, internationality, regionality and finances. In addition, the brochure illustrates the University’s 116-year history.
