Events Newsletter CHANGES!
Starting Winter Term, Campus Life will no longer accept Events Newsletter submissions via email. Please add your events to the Knox College Calendar at www.knox.edu/addevent, and our student worker will pull information from the calendar each week to share in our newsletter. We look forward to sharing your events with the Knox community!
Thursday
German Table
Thursday, Jan 4
12-1pm
Oak Room
German Table is a great opportunity for students and any member of the Knox community to gather and converse in German in a very friendly environment, but German knowledge is not a requirement to participate. We will first ask: "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?" Join us and share your experiences with people interested in the German language, culture, and history. German Table macht dich cool!
