German Day

At Penn State

April 2, 2025

The 2025 motto is…

Mit Deutsch Unterwegs

We encourage students to explore the motto with any theme they can think of. Some ideas for themes that we thought are worth exploring are traveling to German-speaking countries or travel destinations; German-speaking immigrants in the US; German, Swiss, and Austrian heritage in Pennsylvania and the rest of the US; German, Swiss, and Austrian products and companies in a global economy; and the quintessential German “survival kit” (useful phrases and knowledge one needs to “survive” in a German-speaking environment).
