It was always Prof. Crister S. Garrett's goal to encourage young people—to believe in themselves, stand up and find their own voice, and create a world that embraces its differences, knows no borders, and offers everyone an equal chance.

While we are all still processing the news of Prof. Garrett's passing, we want to make sure that the ASL community stays informed as much as possible. Please find some basic information below. We will update this news item in the coming days and weeks, so please do check back.

Farewell

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Prof. Crister S. Garrett. We have lost a wonderful colleague, a dear friend, and an outstanding scholar. Prof. Garrett joined American Studies Leipzig in 2003, bringing a clear vision and a unique energy that transformed and shaped the institute in the years since. His passing presents an immeasurable loss to the institute, to the students, and to the larger community. We will miss him so much.

The marked examination papers may be viewed during Prof. Kanzler's regular consultation hours and on March, 25, from 11 am to noon.

The date for the repeat exam will be published on the ASL website.

Due to vacation, the Secretariat remains closed from 25 to 28 February, 2019.
