German Institute Funding 2022-23
|
The Executive Committee of the German Institute is pleased to announce the call for applications to support activities/endeavors related to German and/or Germany. For 2022-23, a total of $6,000 is available from external sources. Because these funds are limited, an application is required and will be awarded on a competitive basis. Applications for the full amount of available funds will, at this time, most likely not be supported in full. Applications are due March 25. Awards will be announced no later than April 8.
In the past, the Institute has funded enrichments to May Term trips to Germany, the German film festival, learning materials for the faculty/staff heritage tour, and subsidized student travel to Germany for study abroad and internships (but not May Terms).
Full application details are available here. Direct all questions to Dr. Daniel Walther.

Artist Reception and Gallery Talk Friday, March 11
|
“Electronic Drift” by artist Tibi Chelcea will be on display in the Waldemar A. Schmidt Art Gallery through April 4. An artist reception will be Friday, March 11, 6-8 p.m., with a gallery talk by the artist at 7 p.m.
Throughout Chelcea’s career as an engineer, he has seen his share of technologies come and pass. His artistic work uses these objects in ways they were not mass-produced for, emphasizing their physical beauty. Through printmaking, drawing and painting, these works allude to serial design, issues of consumption and automated vs. labor-intensive processes.

Over the next five weeks Wednesday Chapel services will be focused on the season of Lent. Lent is the 40 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter.

Each week we will examine scripture through one of these senses.
