Over the past few years, the Department of Germanic Studies has had the good fortune of being remembered with generosity by former students, faculty members, and friends. The gifts they have given the department have allowed us to support today’s undergraduate and graduate students and recognize their achievements.
We bring you news from all corners of the Department of Germanic Studies, where faculty and students alike are finding new ways to further their common interests, and from far away, where our older alumni are thriving personally and professionally, and our younger ones are blazing new trails into scholarship and teaching.

Bill Elliot from the Indiana University Alumni Association sends us this invitation to keep in touch via the IUAA Class Notes: Tell us about all the achievements and milestones in your life. We want to know when you get married. When a future Indiana University alum joins your family. When you win an award, publish a book, or get a great new job. If it’s good news for you, it’s good news to us.
This newsletter is published by the Department of Germanic Studies, with support from the College of Arts and Sciences, to encourage alumni interest in and support for Indiana University.
