Carol Dunne, director of Northern Stage Theater in White River Junction, and Klaus Mladek (German Studies) offer students free tickets to the show and a post-performance discussion on Wednesday, October 19, 6:45 pm - 10 pm.

Join us on October 7 in Collis Common Ground between 5 pm and 8 pm for food, music, and games.

Our lunch table is in '53 Commons on the second floor, room 204, from 12:30 - 14:00. We are not exclusively speaking German, so if you are merely interested in a brief cultural exchange, you may do just that without having to have any knowledge of the German language. The Mittagstisch will be held every Monday from 12:30 - 14:00 in room 204 throughout the term.

Austrian student Winfried Stangl will be our Foreign Language Teaching Assistant in AY 22-23.
