It is with great gratitude that we bid farewell to Prof. Dr. Ronald Hechtfischer, who has worked as a professor of business management at Hof University of Applied Sciences since 1998 and played a key role in shaping our alumni association as its founding chairman.
As a committed initiator, Prof. Hechtfischer made “Alumni Hochschule Hof e.V.” the association with the largest number of members at the university and at the same time launched the Entrepreneur Exchange. Under his leadership, this developed into the largest university contact fair in northern Bavaria. With tireless commitment and vision, he has built bridges between the university, students and companies over the years.
His outstanding teaching and commitment to students earned him the highest recognition – including 3rd place in the “Professor of the Year” competition in 2014. With his expertise in strategic corporate management, human resources management and leadership tasks, he was not only a valued professor, but also an important advisor for the business world.
Prof. Hechtfischer himself emphasized at his farewell: “The decision to come to Hof University of Applied Sciences was the best decision of my life. I particularly enjoyed working in the alumni association – we were simply a great team!”
Even though he is now devoting himself to new projects, his legacy remains alive for us. We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Hechtfischer for his outstanding commitment and wish him all the best for the future!
