Rugby Teams Receive Celebratory Welcome Back to Campus
Thank you to members of the campus community who came out to welcome the Golden Bear rugby teams back to campus Tuesday afternoon after their weekend at the Collegiate Rugby Championships in New Orleans. Players and coaches returned to campus via police escort and were greeted by more than 75 members of the campus community. The women’s team finished in sixth place in the DI Club Bracket, while the men's team (pictured with President Hawkinson) won the Premier National Cup Final for the program’s first-ever national championship and the university’s first team national championship since men’s powerlifting in the early 1980s.

SPARK for German Pilot Program is Wunderbar
After the first day, one young participant insisted on being called Jäger (hunter), the German equivalent of his first name. Another learner was going to start practicing with his brother, who is taking German at Kutztown High School. After two weeks, all students displayed an almost Pavlovian reaction to the word Bonbon (candy). These anecdotes, among many more, speak to the success of SPARK for German, a pilot program and partnership between the German section of Kutztown University's Department of Modern Language Studies and the Kutztown Area School District.
