Celebrating 10 Years of our Hildesheim Exchange
This fall, the Hildesheim, Germany, exchange program is celebrating its 10-year anniversary. Kutztown students can choose between a semester or a year to spend abroad with the program; it is open to students in any major. The agreement allows for sending up to eight students per year. This fall, we welcomed eight students from Hildesheim. Please see here for more information. Please contact program coordinator Lynn Kutch (kutch@kutztown.edu) if you would like one or more of our current Hildesheimers to visit your class before they head back home at the end of the semester.

Classic Children's Book Pinkalicious Comes to KU as a Musical
Bring the family at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 17, Schaeffer Auditorium, for Pinkalicious The Musical. Pinkalicious can't stop eating pink cupcakes and she lands at the doctor's office with Pinkititis, an affliction that turns her pink from head to toe. But when her hue goes too far, only Pinkalicious can figure out how to get out of this predicament. This family-friendly favorite, based on the popular children's books, is sure to be a fun adventure for everyone. KU faculty and staff can access discounted tickets by logging in here with their MyKU login.
