Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society (HWG LU) was awarded the "Shaping Diversity" certificate by the Stifterverband at a ceremony in Berlin on Wednesday, March 6. With this award, the Stifterverband recognizes universities and research institutions that successfully complete the two-year diversity audit "Shaping Diversity". The certificate certifies that the HWG LU,"understands the diversity of its students and employees as an opportunity and has found ways to use this potential for organizational development" (Stifterverband). The certificate is valid until March 2027.
"The certification offers HWG LU an opportunity to make visible to the outside world what has long been anchored in the university culture and is also reflected in the heterogeneous composition of our student body: Diversity is actively lived and promoted here!" explains Petra Schorat-Waly, who accompanied the audit as the university's Diversity Manager and has now received the award in Berlin. Three major topics were addressed as part of the diversity audit in five diversity forums and the accompanying internal auditing process: the further internationalization of the university, diversity-sensitive HR management and the promotion of student volunteering.
The internal auditing process was accompanied externally by auditor Dr. Christian Ganseuer, Professor of Research and Innovation Management at the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences at Koblenz University of Applied Sciences.
