• German Language and International Careers (LIC) students from Eastern Michigan University visited GMTA on March 12, 2013. Students were given a tour of GMTA facilities and a presentation in German by GMTA President, Walter Friedrich. As EMU Department of World Languages Professor Margrit Zinggeler Ph.D. pointed out, “Eastern Michigan was one of the first universities to combine foreign language with a practical business component. The EMU major in language and international careers (LIC) is designed to integrate the study of modern foreign languages and cultures with preparation for an international business career. The major objective of the program is to provide students with the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to function in a foreign environment and in professional dealings with people and clients who speak a foreign language. It is a very useful course of study in today's global economy, especially with so many foreign companies setting up shop in the U.S.” After the presentation and questions, students were invited to a typical German "Brotzeit" (evening meal of German bread and coldcuts) and, of course, ample quantities of German beer Reissdorf Koelsch! GMTA is proud to support young people in the community and help provide them with (German) language opportunities in a business environment.
