 Who We Are The German Club was founded in 2000 to promote awareness of and interest in German-speaking cultures and German Language, and to bring together both students enrolled in German Studies at Western Oregon University and the general student body with the surrounding community. Additionally, the German Club helps to support the learning needs of German Studies students through language-intensive events, and raises money for the annual German Club Grant through fundraising.
Students enrolled in the German Studies program are automatically members of the club and make up the majority of the membership. However, membership is open to all students at Western Oregon University and interested parties in the surrounding community. There are no dues to become a member. For more information on joining, please contact Joseph Stevens, German Club Präsident.
Events Our club is very active and sponsors many events during the course of the school year. Weekly events such as Stammtisch, Kaffeestunde, and Filmabend are intended to bring students in German Studies together to practice their language skills while building a solid community across all levels of the program. Other interested parties are of course welcome to attend as well.
German Club also hosts other annual events during the academic year. Among these are Oktoberfest, May Fest, and new to this year, a Karneval Maskerade Ball. These events are open to the entire campus community at Western, and are a chance for us to share parts of German culture with everyone. Additionally, proceeds from these events fund the annual German Club Grant and club sponsored events.
To learn more about German Club Events, please visit our Events page.
Fundraising All German Club activities and the annual $750 German Club Grant are funded entirely by fundraising efforts made by our student members. To augment funds raised by events such as Oktoberfest, Fasching Maskerade Ball, and Maifest, the German Club also sells an assortment of authentic German advent calendars, chocolates, and candies. German themed t-shirts designed by the club have also been sold in past years. All proceeds from events and merchandise sales go directly to the German Club Grant and German Club activities.
If you are interested in placing an order, please contact the German Club Adviser, Dr. Gudrun Hoobler, 503-838-8715.
The German Club Scholarship The German Club Scholarship is awarded annually to a student enrolled in the German Studies program, regardless of their academic major or minor. Criteria for the $750 Scholarship was established by our students, but the Financial Aid Office awards the scholarship .
