Honor Society News & Updates

First, I’d like to thank everyone who filled out the Honor Society survey. Your feedback is immensely helpful to me – and most importantly, it helps us help YOU! We do have some exciting updates for all our Honor Society chapters and prospective new chapters: As of 2021, we no longer require chapters to submit a report at the end of the year. We do encourage all chapters to submit stories and pictures of their chapter events and meetings to our newsletter to showcase their activity. Additionally, we have revised and improved the process for establishing a new chapter, making it easier for teachers to get started, and we also added a FAQ section to our website to help new and established chapters troubleshoot common questions quickly.

We are excited to roll out our brand-new storefront this

Fall: store.aatg.org. The new AATG store will offer a much -improved user experience for ordering physical products for your honor society chapter and your German students, including end-to-end tracking, flat pricing, and the option for students and family members to order items directly. Our existing store will still be operational until the end of the year if you prefer to order through there.

Welcome back, Summer Programs!

As we are closely monitoring developments in the US and Germany/Europe as the world battles COVID-19, we are working diligently with our partners to plan for our Summer 2022 Programs, including the National German Exam Scholarship Trip and the AATG Summer Study Program for High School students. More details about both programs and opportunities to serve as chaperones will be announced soon! Also stay tuned for more exciting additions to our summer study program offerings in the future!
