Cellist practices above Georgian Room - Few may realize that there is a hall above the Georgian Room,
which is located behind Old Main. The space is divided into music practice rooms to complement the many
practice rooms, music faculty offices and rehearsal rooms on the ground and main levels. For other campus curiosities,
see your copy of the Tower magazine or visit www.kutztown.edu/tower.

A Visit from Germany -- Members of a nine-person delegation from Saarbrücken, Germany arrived in Lehigh County and will spend the week touring the area. The group enjoyed a visit to Kutztown University and the Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center (PGCHC) on Wednesday. 

Dr. John Delaney, director of Pennsylvania German Studies, Dr. Robert Reynolds, director of the PGCHC, and Patrick Donmoyer, PGCHC building and site conservator, provided the group with  background on the university and the rich history of Berks County. 

The city/county of Saarbrücken, Germany and Lehigh County have had a longstanding “sister county” relationship including official visits and cultural exchanges over nearly 30 years.
