German Club
Willkommen!
Are you interested in joining an organization that fosters learning and growth while meeting new people and socializing at the same time? Then you are encouraged to participate in Shippensburg Universitys German Club. The German Club is a student run organization with the primary goal of supporting interest in the German language, history, and culture. No prior knowledge of the language is required to join, but if you do speak German, you will find many club members on different levels to practice and converse with in an informal setting. The club consists of monthly meetings, movie nights, and other German cultural events that are organized by club members. During past semesters, the German Club has participated in cultural fairs, taken trips to Washington DC for cultural events, and hosted celebrations for Easter, Christmas, and Oktoberfest.
Anyone with an interest in German is encouraged to join our organization, as we host a multitude of fun events celebrating German history, culture, language, and even literature, and we are always open to new ideas from students. The club is a great way to reinforce learning of the language in the classroom and to interact with other students. On behalf of the Shippensburg University German Club officers, we wish you all the best this semester and hope to see you at our club events.
