The German Department's Fußballmeisterschaft is a biannual event, which started in the 2004-5 school year, and is held during the Fall and Spring semesters. Many of the lower and upper level German classes enter a team, make a team t-shirt and give up one Saturday in order to determine who will be the champion. There is always a great turn out and the students have a lot of fun. |
