Almüllni

The idea to bring graduates together from the course of study, which has existed since 1994, arose in 2003. Many individuals regreted that contact to professors and fellow students was lost. For that reason a common platform for waste disposal engineers and waste management students was founded in October 2003. In the Almüllni alumni association, there are regular meetings of alumni and professors with a sociable atmosphere to keep in touch and to establish new contacts. There are currently abut 70 graduates who regularly meet.
