Attention all Bay Area DAAD Alumni!
The DAAD Alumni Association USA provides a fantastic opportunity to stay in contact with other DAAD scholars, to expand networks, and to nurture interest in and further knowledge of German culture and higher education. There is an exceptionally high concentration of DAAD alumni in the Bay Area, but, as of yet, no regional group established. Reach out to your fellow alumni and make an effort to further the DAAD Alumni Association; contact the San Francisco Information Officer Leslie Harlson at daadsf@daad.org to help set up a Bay Area group, or to see what you can do to help!
