Health Day 2024

WOW - what a (health) DAY! The motto of 22 October 2024 was “A heart for health” and it brought numerous highlights and wonderful moments. The day was opened with inspiring words by the Chancellor Mr Pietsch and the Rector Mr Tolkmitt. Both emphasised the importance of health and well-being, whether at university or at work. The Rector's sports session on the smoothie bike immediately after the speech was a particular highlight. He personally pedalled the very first smoothie of the day and then enjoyed it with the Chancellor.

A wide range of hands-on activities, exciting workshops, health screenings and great goodies from our partners were on offer for participants. University Sports also offered a free Zumba class, which provided lots of exercise and good humour.

The highlights of the Health Day included healthy sandwiches and wraps from dean & david, the popular smoothie bike, with its delicious and varied smoothie creations, and an energy-packed ‘boot camp session’ from the Mittweida Sports Centre. The coffee specialities from ‘Kaffeeflitzer’ rounded off the day perfectly. 

We will remember this special day for a long time to come and we are already looking forward to the next one! It's now time to mark the date of 13 November 2025 in your diary!

A big thank you goes to all our partners and supporters who made this day so successful and unforgettable!
