ASV Annual Meeting 2022
For the ASV reunion, the jubilee class met on the Härlen campus and enjoyed great weather, a reunion with old classmates and a varied program.
It started with a panel discussion with alumnus and former ambassador to Moscow, Rüdiger von Fritsch. Then it was off outside for the field hockey tournament, in which the Salemers traditionally compete against the Altsalemers. This year, the Salemers won the tournament for the first time since 2009.
Towards the evening, our orchestra and choir performed an excerpt of the opera Carmina Burana together in the Härlen auditorium, for which they received much applause. The evening was rounded off with the performance of our college band and a spectacular outreach service presentation.
