German Club
About Us
The Guilford College German Club aims to provide all community members with a view into German culture, which includes language, politics, art, music, social issues, holidays, travel, food etc. The club will promote these things through inclusion of students, alumni, and Greensboro/surrounding community members in events such as movie nights, special holiday celebrations, sharing cultural food, hiking, group sports/games, and supporting other campus activities through participation and collaboration. In particular, cooperation with other modern languages within the College’s Modern Language Studies Department to host multi-cultural events for the campus and greater community will foster deeper understanding of how German culture fits into the global community as well as how it relates to individuals of varying identities, nationalities, and social contexts.
