University of Montana German Program

Hearty congratulations to our graduating German majors Charlie and Logan (pictured here) and Gabby. Charlie is looking forward to hopefully joining the Peace Corps to Senegal this fall, Logan - our outstanding senior in German - will be starting the MA program in Linguistics at UM this coming academic year, and Gabby will be on a prestigious Fulbright fellowship teaching English in Germany next year. Congrats too to our German minors Sophia, Joe, and Noah. Thanks, everyone, for all the excellent work and good times over the last few years. Wir wünschen euch alles Gute und viel Erfolg!

Congrats to Logan, Charlie, and Gabby - this year’s inductees into Delta Phi Alpha, the National German Honors Society! Thanks for all the great work and commitment to German during your time at UM. Logan will be continuing at UM in the Linguistics MA program, Charlie is waiting to hear further on his Peace Corps application, and Gabby is looking forward to spending next year in Lower Saxony, Germany teaching English, supported by a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship. Excellent work, all! We’re proud of you each! Gratulation!

Liebe Freundinnen und Freunde des UM-Deutschprogramms: Frohen Valentinstag!

In Germany Valentine's Day still has an image something along the lines of a "Hallmark holiday". But that doesn't mean Germans are not romantic, so here is "I love you" in the different regions, and various dialects.

Who knows, they could come in useful one day.

Students, faculty, alums, and friends of UM German at tonight’s screening of Wings of Desire / Der Himmel über Berlin (Wim Wenders / Peter Handke, 1987.) Sold-out show part of the Roxy’s Greatest Films series. A film deserving to be featured in a program with that title!

We've got this! Guten Rutsch (etwas nachträglich 😊)!

Day 2 of the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association Conference in San Francisco. Professor Marko attending this morning’s excellent, creative, and entertaining presentation by UM Grerman grad and Montana State Associate Professor Pete Schweppe on German Street Art. Griz are here in CA!

Professor Marko with UM German alum, now Associate Professor of German and History at Montana State, Pete Schweppe at the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association Conference in San Francisco. The Griz and Cats may be rivals, but…our faculty love working with our friends and colleagues in German at MSU…whether they’re former Griz or not. 🙂

Last ones left at the end of our first Club meeting tonight. We’ll be meeting during the semester on Thursdays at the UC Commons from 5 - 6 pm. Komm mal vorbei!
