The German Program at Clemson offers a number of opportunities outside of the classrooms. German is a relative small section in the Language Department. Therefore, we want you take advantage of it to get to know your teachers. Talk to them during office hours, after class, or send them an E-mail with any question you might have. We want to be here for you and help you with all your "German needs"!
To get to know other German students or Germans that life in the Upstate we recommend to become a member of the German Club.
There is a number of activities we are planing. Please contact the German Club President (Judith Atzler jatzler@clemson.edu) or one of the German teachers for more information or additional events.
