American Studies Leipzig has held its second annual Student Orientation Week (SOW). The goals of SOW 2006 were to introduce students to the new BA Program in American Studies, to allow students to get to know each other, and to acquaint the incoming BA Class of 2006 to the broader American Studies Community in Leipzig. Events were held over a period of three days.
American Studies Leipzig has welcomed its first BA students. The American Studies Leipzig BA Class of 2006 consists of twenty-seven students from around Germany. Almost two-thirds of the entering class has already spent substantial time (e.g. high school year abroad, au-pair experience) in the United States. Their reasons for pursuing American Studies are diverse, ranging from being fascinated by the country generally, to being a fan of its contemporary popular culture, to wanting to further a better German-American dialog.
Dear students, please find below the most up-to-date information on the upcoming fall term of 2006. For all students, instruction starts on 16 Oct, 2006.
