Dear Friends of the German Department,

It is a great pleasure to address you from the grounds of Mr. Jefferson’s University, announcing new initiatives taken by the German Department, among them the presentation of our electronic version of a bi-annual departmental newsletter.

Here you will find a variety of newsworthy items, which we offer to establish or re-establish an ongoing relationship with former students, colleagues, alumni and other interested parties. The newsletter will summarize the most significant events of any given semester, and will also provide an outlook of our plans for the enhancement of our programs. So we invite you to read, enjoy and, if you wish, send us your news for future publication.

Mit freundlichen Grüssen,
Volker Kaiser, Chair
