Watch a German Comedy!

Did you know that you can take a summer course in Germany and transfer credits towards your minor? Where should you go? How is Germany like? Will you survive on German food?

These and other questions will be answered at our upcoming event on Thursday, February 12 Room KKB 101 (Leung Kau Kui Building on main campus).

After the introduction of the summer courses, we will watch a comedy called "Manitou's Canoe", a parody of Wild West movies.

Hope to see you there!
