Join us for an evening celebrating the city of Leipzig’s contributions to music, history and the arts.

This year’s FACUL dinner will feature heavy hors d’oeuvres from Germany. Musical performances of German composers will entertain guests throughout the evening, along with lectures exploring Leipzig’s unique place in the world. Distinguished guests will offer greetings and engage attendees in lively discourse. As the event winds to a close, guests will enjoy kaffee und kuchen (coffee and cake) for dessert while reflecting on the evening’s cultural festivities. The music, food and camaraderie will leave a lasting positive impression of German heritage and ACU’s long-standing relationship with this country. The registration deadline is Monday, April 15 at 5pm. Register here.
