FLORENCE, K8彩乐园的学生将有机会在德国驻华盛顿大使馆资助的特别活动中与德国和德国公司的代表进行互动, D.C. Germany on Campus is scheduled for Oct. 17 from 10 a.m. until noon in the Banquet Halls of the Guillot University Center, the event will include guests from the German Embassy, Mercedes-Benz, Rödl & Partner, and Schönox. 

“Partnering with outside entities is the absolute best way for students to gain experiential learning,” said Rebcca Linam, the German Professor as well as the event organizer. “After all, when they graduate, they’ll be working with those same businesses and organizations. 对他们来说，最好现在就积累一些经验，这样他们毕业时就能成为工作的最佳人选.” 

Linam said the Germany of Campus event is not just for students of German. Students in history, political science, English, psychology, computer science, business, and other STEM-related fields should also consider attending. 

Germany on Campus includes three separate opportunities:

  • 互动浏览博览会，让学生和企业直接互动，如何利用工作, student, and research opportunities in Germany.
  • A panel presentation with a Q and A session to follow that will include Mercedez-Benz, Rodl & Partner, Fulbright recipient Brandon Blevins, and Dr. Ulrich Groetsch, an Associate Professor in the Department of History.
  • A screening of Sophie Scholl, which depicts the life of a little-known resistance fighter against Hitler during World War II. This will take place from 6-8 p.m. in the Wesleyan Hall Auditorium on Oct. 17. 

懂一门外语和精通外国文化是在全球经济中取得成功的工具, said Linam.

“The greater part of problems that result from today’s society are due to misunderstandings, whether they be linguistic or cultural, she said. “大学经历的一部分是为了更好地了解与学生专业相关的世界. No man is an island, or put in context, no ‘major’ is an island. Students need to connect to others in their fields in order to fully understand them. 学习一门外语可以确保他们努力从别人的文化角度来看待自己的专业，并有助于防止未来因误解而产生的问题.” 

所有与德国校园相关的活动都对校园以及更广泛的Shoals社区开放.
