As the name suggests, TandemPlus class-to-class (C2C) exchanges usually pair one local language class with one language class in another country. Individual students from each of the classes are paired and meet online three to five times throughout the semester for conversation in both the target language and English. Sometimes, however, the group of students at one of the universities isn't technically "a class," but rather students from a variety of courses who have been recruited by a staff person at the institution to form a group for the purposes of the exchange. This type of arrangement is usually due to special circumstances, such as curricular changes due to COVID-19.

Congratulations to Leslie Morris who has been named the Beverly and Richard Fink Professor in Liberal Arts from 2020-23! This endowed chair is intended to advance the extraordinary teaching, research, and creative work of faculty who are making exceptional contributions in their field

GNSD recently learned of the passing of Professor Emeritus Göran Stockenström

Jon Gugisberg (BA ‘96, German and international relations) reflects on his time at the University and how his education prepared him for a career in international business. “All the skills taught in the liberal arts are applicable, if not essential, to a sales role.”
