The department of Germanic Studies at Indiana University is approaching its 150th anniversary in 2025. Looking back at multiple generations of scholars and teachers, we recognize the commitment to the education of open-minded citizens of the world that has guided them. We hear their conviction that Indiana is a state in which student’s yearning to experience and learn about a culture remote from theirs (while often part of their heritage) deserves to be honored and fostered, feeding into careers in service, in the arts, in business, and in teaching.
