Residents of the Kade Program have the opportunity to learn and practice German in an informal setting: students at all levels are welcome. They are also able to participate in the many activities in the residence, such as film series, Kaffeestunden, and a mini-course featuring guest lectures by faculty. The Program also organizes and subsidizes trips to local cultural events, and to Berlin, Vienna,  Munich, Cologne, or Hamburg over Spring Break. The George Valenta Scholarship is available each year for an upperclass concentrator living in the Max Kade Residence. The Max Kade Residence is  located in North Quad.
