Daniel Mayr, student of International Economics, receives the “Student of the Year in Management and Economics” award of the Bank Austria Sponsoring Foundation, which is endowed with 1,500 euros. Recognition prizes of 500 euros each go to Clara Holthuisen, Theresa Steinbacher and Johann Flöck. The “Student of the Year in Management and Economics” award has been presented to students at the University of Innsbruck since 1999.
The winners are selected by the Board of Trustees of the Bank Austria Sponsoring Foundation, which also includes Dieter Hengl, Board Member responsible for Corporates at UniCredit Bank Austria. “We are proud that we have been supporting Tyrolean students with this award for so many years as part of our social commitment”, said Hengl. “From our point of view, the award is an excellent combination of regionalism and internationalism and thus reflects our self-image as a successful pan-European commercial bank”.
The award is open to students of the bachelor’s programme in Business Administration and Economics, which is offered by the Faculties of Business Administration and Economics and Statistics at the University of Innsbruck. In addition to excellent academic performance, students must also demonstrate social and community involvement.
“For me, social commitment is a very important criterion that is an important part of our corporate culture, alongside our international orientation and strong regional roots. This is also our focus in Tyrol, and this award for Tyrolean students is a wonderful symbol of this”, says Daniel Hechl, Deputy Regional Director for Tyrol at UniCredit Bank Austria, who presented the awards together with Annette Ostendorf, Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration, and Markus Walzl, Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Statistics, at a ceremony at the University of Innsbruck.
