House Description

Program/Theme Description:

Theme programming at Haus Mitt revolves around two things: language and culture. We offer three conversation courses taught by graduate students and some sections of first year German are taught in Haus Mitt. Residents with no German experience are encouraged to learn informally at opportunities like Stammtisch, which is our weekly German meal, held on Tuesdays, during which any members of the greater German community on campus are welcome to join us for good German food and good German conversation. Cultural activities in the Haus range from theme classes (such as German cooking, beer brewing, movie series, and others, depending upon quarter) to theme projects, which are short presentations by residents on middle European subjects they are interested in. We also enjoy an active role in the greater European community through events such as Oktoberfest and Eurolympics, during which the residents of the European-themed houses get together to enjoy good food & good spirits. As we say in Germany, hau rein!
