This course is designed to give the residents of the Max Kade community to meet weekly, develop communication skills in German as well as learn about culture and history of the German-speaking countries. Specific topics will vary each term in order to take advantage of relevant performances, exhibitions, and lectures. The course varies enough from year to year so that students can elect it multiple times for credit.

As a part of the course, students will also organize an outreach event in the fall.

Intended Audience:

For Max Kade House students only.
