In conversation with: Inga Poll
Teacher for special tasks at the Wolfenbüttel campus
"I particularly enjoy teaching because we have a great supervisory relationship at Ostfalia. People still count here and you know the students personally.
I've been associated with Ostfalia for a long time. Initially, I studied Business Administration at the campus in Salzgitter. After a professional excursion into the private sector, an Ostfalia professor offered me the opportunity to return to the university as a research assistant in 2008. Alongside my professional activities, I completed my Master's degree at the University of Hildesheim and have now been a lecturer for special tasks at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Wolfenbüttel since 2014.
Teaching is very important to me. With practical exercises and case studies, it's easy to guide students through even the supposedly drier topics in accounting. The contact is very personal, as we have a good supervisory relationship at Ostfalia, and it often lasts beyond the degree programme when graduates develop their own projects in the working world.
The special thing about my work is the combination of technical knowledge and social interaction. I enjoy working with people from so many different backgrounds, accompanying and supporting them on their journey and sharing my knowledge with them. As a teacher for special tasks, I am free to organise my work and, thanks to flexible working hours, I can combine my work very well with my family. You don't have to choose one or the other. Ostfalia and my faculty are also there to support me in difficult private times. During my son's serious illness, I was able to continue working from home at my own discretion, which ultimately gave me a kind of distraction from the stressful hours in hospital. I would probably not have received this level of support in the business world."
