January saw the beginning of a new semester,
the first one with the new monthly module
course system at all Schiller campuses. In
spite of some hasty concerns the system works
well and offers our students a new
flexibility in their studies - giving a time
of intensive working and also the chance to
take a month off for internships or
recreation.
By March our Florida headquarter moved to a
new, bright and modern building, located at
the heart of Largo: 8560 Ulmerton Road, Largo
FL 33771.

Finally, we had a lovely and impressive
graduation ceremony in Heidelberg last week,
presenting over 30 students of 12 different
nationalities with their diplomas and special
awards. The graduation speaker, Mr. Harald
Leibrecht, a member of the German Bundestag,
preceded the class valedictorian Andreas
Hagen, who also attended the Florida campus.
Some of this year's graduates have already
joined our Alumni organization.
Congratulations and welcome on
board!

Cathy Eberhart, a Schiller veteran of
long standing, has left Schiller in
February.
After receiving her Bachelors from Antioch College, and Masters and PhD from Ruprecht-Karls-University in Heidelberg, she joined the Schiller administration in 1982. After the death of Schiller founder Dr. Walter Leibrecht she was appointed interim president, and later Provost of the University. All students and colleagues, she has been working with over so many years, wish her success and happiness in the future and hope to remain in touch. Bill O'Connor, Heidelberg Campus
Bookstore Manager, retired in March.
Bill joined the staff in August 1990, while the Campus was located downtown in the "Villa", and has ordered English language textbooks from abroad, for generations of students. When he wasn't dealing with book shipments or customs issues, he handled health insurance claims for those students covered by the German group plan. After years in the Heidelberg fog, it was time to return "home" to the San Francisco Bay Area to be near children and grandchildren and the California sun. The Heidelberg administration, faculty, and students, all wish Bill a joyful homecoming. |
