student there. After returning to his native Netherlands, he initially wanted to become an elementary school teacher, but somehow he found himself drawn back to Marburg. He began training to become a state-certified early childhood educator and chose the Steinm\u00fchle boarding school as his internship site. That\u2019s when the decision took shape: This is where I want to work. While working, he went on to study social work and completed his studies with a bachelor\u2019s degree. Michel Hermens sees Steinm\u00fchle\u2019s facilities as the ideal environment for sports, which he loves. He often sees himself reflected in the students and is able to build a rapport with them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-tr152r-b3ba5f2292d07487acf05556fcf9ffad\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-tr152r-b3ba5f2292d07487acf05556fcf9ffad{\nheight:10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-tr152r-b3ba5f2292d07487acf05556fcf9ffad hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-qtxhnn-066e489423f0ed576e0aae10cf2e5f98 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4><strong>&#8220;Seize the opportunities&#8221;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-qa8web-4132aaf44ae858a6be76a043d42bf051 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Michel Hermens has witnessed firsthand the transformation of the Steinm\u00fchle into a modern campus.
