The Club always attempts to help students practice German, learn more about German culture, and to have fun in the process. Among their activities have been study groups during exam weeks, outings to German restaurants and films, and joint picnics with the entire department. Watch for announcements in the fall for the first organizational meeting. The Scandinavian Club is a great place for students to meet and use their language outside of the classroom.
All students are welcome to participate regardless of their knowledge of the Nordic languages.
Coffee and cookies are provided. The Department offers every other year a German Play, produced with faculty support by undergraduate and graduate students. These are serious productions of major plays, performed before an audience of students and others from the Twin Cities area. The next German Play, Der gute Mensch von Santa Fe , will be produced in Spring 2001. This program is meant for students across all Colleges who have a background in German and are interested in maintaining and improving their German language skills by living in an environment in which priority is given to communicating in German.
