German Deputy Consul General Stefan Biedermann discussing current issues with high school students

High schools students from the Boulder Valley and Fort Collins school districts explored the CU campus on February 10, 2016 as part of the German Language Immersion Day. High school students participated in sessions on German film and Austrian art. They also tested their knowledge on German geography, economy, music, and popular culture in a game of Jeopardy, and they went on German-spoken campus tours in which they learned about the university’s history, areas of study, and campus life. Their German learning experience on campus was further enriched by a discussion round with German Deputy Consul General, Stefan Biedermann, on current issues such as a the refugee crisis in Europe. An info session led by the DAAD information officer, Hanni Geist, provided them with useful advice on scholarships in Germany and encouraged them to continue their study of the German language and culture.
