Two new Vice Presidents will help shape the future development of the HfMT. In its 485th meeting on Wednesday, November 9, the University Senate unanimously elected Dr. Bilinc Ercan-Catanzaro and Prof. Dr. Jonas Dietrich as future Vice Presidents of the HfMT. Together with President Prof. Dr. Jan Philipp Sprick, Vice President and Director of the Theatre Academy Prof. Sabina Dhein and Chancellor Dr. Henning Jeske, they now form the new Executive Board of the HfMT.

Dr. Bilinc Ercan-Catanzaro will become Vice President for Diversity, Social Responsibility, Committees and Legal Affairs and Prof. Dr. Jonas Dietrich will take over as Vice President for Studies and Teaching. Both will take office on January 1, 2023.

Prof. Dr. Jan Philipp Sprick:
"I would like to thank the HfMT Senate for so clearly confirming the selection of my two new Vice Presidents. This shows the great trust in the work of Dr. Bilinc Ercan-Catanzaro and Prof. Dr. Jonas Dietrich at the HfMT. In recent years, Dr. Ercan-Catanzaro has initiated many processes at the university through her work as Acting Equal Opportunities Officer and founding member of the Diversity Steering Group, which have profiled the topics of diversity and social responsibility as central and self-evident fields of action at HfMT. As Vice Dean of Studies III and member of the management of the Institute of School Music, Prof. Dietrich is very familiar with all topics that are important in the area of studies and teaching and also has a wealth of new ideas for new study structures and teaching formats. I am very much looking forward to working with the newly composed Executive Board. Both new vice presidents represent key topics that will shape my term of office, which has just begun."
