- MLB students at Burg Eltz
The Live-in Week from the 1st to the 5th of May 2007 was intended to familiarize the MLB students with the WHU-Otto Beisheim School of Management (our partner University in Vallender) and encourage interaction between the MLB and the WHU students. A team led by Prof. Markus Rudolf, the MLB Program Director and his assistant, Ms. Mareen Benk, organized a warm stay at WHU and made the Live-in Week a great experience. In addition to meeting individual students, MLB participants learnt about different student initiatives at WHU including conferences like the Private Equity Conference which took place in April 2007 and some community response programs like fundraisers for supporting communities in developing countries.
The trip was also a time to network and make new friends – for example, we were invited to attend the In-Praxi night (WHU alumni organisation) and at the end of the evening some students joined the club. As part of the program, two courses (Corporate Finance and Industrial Economics) were taught during the week. However students also had the chance to explore Vallender and Koblenz with its wonderful landscape and location on the Rhine. Koblenz is a home for many castles, and we were able to visit some of them. On the night of 4 May we took a tour through the Marksburg, home of the German Castles Association. We also had dinner in the „Marksburg“ - the „Rittermahl“. This was an exciting experience especially for students coming from outside Europe.
On our last day in Vallender we visited the Eltz Castle and had some time to hike through the forest passing through typical German rural towns. Many thanks to the WHU and Bucerius Team for making our stay in Vallender memorable!
From May 2 until May 5 two business courses of the MLB program will be held on the campus of the WHU in Vallendar. Apart from the academic program, the MLB students will experience the unique atmosphere of WHU, establish contacts with WHU students and get a feel for this beautiful part of Germany. The activities include a night with the WHU undergraduate and EMBA students organised by the WHU alumni organisation “In Praxi”, a typical medieval “Knights’ Banquet” in a nearby castle and a tour of the surrounding area. Details of the Program:
