The departmental video contest was an opportunity for participants to show how they are having fun with the German language and cultures in creative ways. In the first round, students voted for the best video from their class to enter the program-wide competition. Students from all classes watched the six finalist videos and voted for the winner online. The contest was funded by the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG) with a Deutsch macht Spaß grant, secured by Dr. Peter Ecke. Congratulations to all participants!
