Department 1

Tarek Steckbeck
Hello,
my name is Tarek Steckbeck, I am 24 years old and I am studying Economics at the HWR in the 7th semester.
As a politically interested and discussion-oriented person, I feel that the representation of the student body at our university is essential. I would therefore like to stand up for the interests of my fellow students, as I would hope you would do for me, and act as a link between the university and students.
Department 2

Department 3

Leonard Ohl
Hello dear people of the HWR,
My name is Leonard Ohl. I’m 23 and I’m studying Public Administration in my third semester at the Lichtenberg campus.
I want to make sure that we make our university a place that enables all students to get through their studies well and safely.
It is important to me to continue to make the HWR a place where everyone feels comfortable and no one is left alone. This means overcoming financial hurdles together. It means that the semester ticket is affordable.
And it means that you look forward to going to campus every day.
I am always available for ideas, queries and comments!

Department 5

Oscar Guse
I’m Oscar Guse, 23 years old and I’m currently in the 6th semester of the advanced police service for Berlin.
In addition to my studies, I do a lot of weight training and martial arts and try to keep myself as physically fit as possible.
Beyond sporting activities, however, I have also realized how important involvement in university politics is. For this reason, I have been a member of the LSK (Commission for Teaching and Studies) for some time now and have recently also become the departmental representative of FB 5 at HWR Berlin.
