COLOGNE BUSINESS SCHOOL INITIATIVES
Work
for Good - CBS Cares for Wishes
From 19th Feb until March 23rd, CBS students get the chance to
volunteer for at least one day in a company of their choice. In
return, the company donates a sum of about € 100 to the non-profit
organization "Wunschdirwase.V.". For more than 28 years, the charity
organization has been fulfilling wishes of severely sick children and
adolescents throughout Germany.
CBS Students that take part receive a certificate,
participating companies on the other hand do not only get the support
of a student for at least one day, but will also receive a donation
receipt. Thanks to the great support of numerous cooperating
companies and students, CBS was able to donate more than € 87,000 to
the "Wunschdirwase.V."
since 2011.
On the occasion of the Cologne Business School’s 25th anniversary in
2018, the university is going to focus on charity and social
responsibility. CBS has therefore started an initiative called “CBS
cares for…” which implies various activities for the benefit of society.
"The
future needs leaders for good. This CBS initiative gives students the
opportunity to contribute to the social cohesion of our society and
at the same time widen their personal network leading to future
business opportunities." - Prof. Dr. René Schmidpeter
