Student Bíborka Béres is the recipient of the DAAD Award
The selection committee reviewed the nominations that were handed in by faculty members and after an intense deliberation decided to offer the Award to Bíborka whose academic as well as civic engagement achievements reveal an excellent, hard-working, academically and civically deeply committed student. Bíborka’s studies, free time, life and work are connected through the thread of being engaged, alert, and always in exchange with both the near and greater outside world.
Bíborka has been working as one of the Civic Engagement Office’s student assistants at Bard College Berlin. In this role, she organizes events around current issues in the political, social and humanitarian realm, and assists with student projects while bringing the Bard College Berlin community into closer contact with Berlin as well as a more global community. She also explores these issues in her academic work as she writes papers and engages in research revolving around these topics. To complement these efforts, she further participates in numerous conferences that enable her to contextualize and advance her knowledge in an international and interdisciplinary context.
Florian Becker, BCB’s Managing Director, awarded the DAAD certificate to Bíborka during “Winterzauber,” the traditional end-of-year celebration held on December 16, 2019 and open to the entire campus community.
The DAAD Award is a monetary award of €1000 that is part of DAAD funding in the STIBET program. It honors outstanding international students in Germany with an exceptional record of engagement for social, political, cultural or humanitarian causes.
