V.", at the end of April the rectors of Leipzig's four public HE institutions launched a fundraising campaign for international students in need, known as SIS for short. SIS has raised some 49,000 euros so far, with 80 students already receiving financial support. On Tuesday (18 August), Rector Beate Schücking and Leipzig's Mayor Burkhard Jung met one of the recipients of the funding, Russian student Pavel Raus, at Leipzig University's Botanical Garden to discuss the successful campaign. "I am very grateful for the great support and the great response to this project," said Rector Schücking. Adding that every donation helps, she called for further support for international students.
