Fanny Dorothea Ulrich

-Vice Chair

Hej hej! My name is Fanny and I am currently the Vice-Chair of the Education Committee. I am studying the Bachelor’s Program International Business and Politics in my second semester. I was brought up to believe that the people around me are very important and that is why I like to make the experience for our students at SBS as good as possible in terms of their education. Earlier, before studying at SBS, I volunteered to be a Youth Group leader and got in touch with picture and video creation for my choir back in my home country Germany. The Education Committee gives me the perfect opportunity to engage, meet new friends and most importantly make our student body heard.
I am more than excited to see you around!
