Dear German list subscribers, Please join my family and I next Monday from 1-4pm in the Denman Ballroom. My husband, Dr. B, teaches courses in data science. My son, Leo, wants to meet everyone! There will be brats and (non-alcoholic) beer, Spaghetti ice cream, live funny accordion polka music, a panel of German-affiliated faculty, and Dr. B moderating Germany trivia. If you can, I recommend you stay for the film screening 4-6pm of Goodbye, Lenin. Viele Grüße, Dr. D -- Dear all, It is my honor to invite you all on behalf of the organising team to the Campus Oktoberfest next Monday (Sept 26) as part of the Germany on Campus<https://global.utsa.edu/germanyoncampus.html> Initiative at UTSA. Please extend this invitation to your faculty colleagues, staff and students - the wider UTSA community is welcome to join us (Inviting interested groups from outside of UTSA would be treated with caution as this would require additional security and paperwork for the organising units). Thank you so much for all your great support. See you there! Best, Saruul
