The Marketing Strategies class, MNGT 4920, just completed a successful project with sustainable furniture company, Retyred Furniture.

Retyred Furniture develops furniture made out of old car tires in Indonesia for an Australian Company run by the famous Austrian kite-surfer, Bernie Kudernatsch.  The students had the challenge of creating a market entry strategy for Retyred on entering the Austrian market.

Three groups presented their findings to the clients at the ad agency, Identum, in a real life situation, impressing the clients with many ideas,concepts and strategies.

It's Wenkheim Wednesday and just 14 weeks to go until we move into our new building! Outside the Palais, passer-byers can now read our University's name which has been branded on the front of the building.

Happy Wenkheim Wednesday! Earlier this week, the keys to the building were officially passed over to our new Head of Facility Management for Palais Wenkheim, Renata Caminada. The occasion marks the first step towards moving into the new Webster campus.

In Spring 2014, first year Webster Vienna students enrolled in FRSH 1200 got up close and personal with issues of poverty, gay rights, WWII, multicultural society and more. Ethics is a core part of the First Year Seminar on the Vienna campus, which includes a special unit that aims to foster ethical reasoning skills.

Congratulations to the Webster students and faculty who successfully completed the 2014 Vienna Marathon!

For decades, Vienna has been hosting its City Marathon. This year, more than 40,000 people participated, a new record.

Congratulations to Samia Geldner, Dept. Head of English at the Webster Vienna campus, on the highly successful workshop "The Trans-disciplinary Functions of the English Programs" that she organized and held this past weekend. She did this in collaboration with Abbott Chrisman (MFA) from Geneva.

It's another Wenkheim Wednesday! We're only 16 weeks away from our move-in and we hear developments will be taking place very quickly from here.

Over the past week, the crew has installed nearly all of the building's classroom and office doors and windows. To give a modern look to our neoclassical campus, the facility features a number of rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, which are likely to be glazed once finished. Other recent changes include more carpeting and installing covers to the heating/cooling systems.

Webster Vienna celebrated the opening of its new student dorms, OeJAB Webster Residence Am Augarten on Thursday, April 24, 2014. This housewarming party was open to all students, faculty, administration and alumni. We were also very pleased to host everyone that was involved in its reconstruction including Mr. Santi of the project management company, KS Ingenieure, and Helmut Herglotz representing the owners of the building from the firm, “Geduris”. Special Guest, Mag.

It's Wenkheim Wednesday and just 17 weeks 'til we move into our new campus location!

Over last couple weeks, we have been documenting the progress of our latest addition to the Academic Resource Center, the project rooms. The framework of the rooms was started just a week and a half ago, and have already shown a great deal of progress.

Students will be able to reserve the work spaces for collaborative group projects, allowing them not to disturb other students who may be quietly working in the library.

With just 18 weeks to go, we're getting even closer to moving into our beautiful, new campus, Palais Wenkheim.

Since last week there has been a great deal of progress going on in the Atrium. They have finished up painting the walls, cleaning up the floors and tearing down the remaining scaffolding. The historic fountain is visible again and not surrounded by a protective wall of wood. The crew has moved in a giant lift to help them reach the glass ceiling to touch up the windows.
