We will have a mass meeting for all students, who will take language courses at a Goethe Institut this spring or summer.

We will have Goethe Institut alums from various sites present at this gathering.

I will speak for the first 15 minutes about the transfer of credits, which is important for all of you, and about MCompass, which is important for you and the university. I will also introduce a Google site to which you will have access and where you can fill in information and post photos for future students.

We will then break up into separate groups and separate rooms where Goethe Institut alums will talk about their experience and answer questions about course content, accommodation, early arrival, free time, other participants, transportation, travel, homework, class hours, costs, etc.

Above all, this meeting also gives you the opportunity to meet fellow participants in person. As you will have noticed, I already established a separate MBox site (Goethe Students 2019) for all Goethe students with the names of participants and with the regulations how the credits get transferred. Get in contact with fellow students: some of you may have already gotten to know each other via email or GroupMe. It would be ideal if you were to fly out to the Goethe Institut with fellow students--you may want to share your flight information with them.

Please bring a list of your own specific questions for the alums to this meeting.
