Person writing something into a diary.

As part of our ongoing efforts to celebrate the Waterloo-Mannheim partnership at the University of Waterloo, we'd like to connect with all those who were involved in it, either in the exchange programs that began in 1972, or in the IcGS program that began in 2012. We'd be grateful if you'd take 10-15 minutes to answer a questionnaire we've set up below. Our goal here is to understand what our programs meant to you and how they've influenced your lives.

If you studied with us in Germanic and Slavic Studies, but didn't participate in our programs with Mannheim, we're interested in hearing from you as well. The questionnaire has questions that apply to all of our former students, with some extra questions for those who were involved in the Waterloo-Mannheim partnership.

If you have any questions, or if you find you want to tell us more than the answer boxes will allow, please email James Skidmore, Chair of Germanic and Slavic Studies (gsschair@uwaterloo.ca).

Information and privacy: questions regarding the collection of information on this form can be directed to the form administrator.

If you're still in touch with classmates or faculty members from your time at UWaterloo, what form does that contact take? We're interested in hearing how the programs facilitated meaningful relationships, both professional and personal.

If you participated in one of the Waterloo-Mannheim programs, tell us about an experience that sums up what the program meant for you.

Would you be open to being contacted by us directly to talk in greater detail about your experiences? * (required)

We're interested in knowing more about how students view our programs. We also want to create a webpage where we can celebrate your memories and experiences of your time studying German at Waterloo and/or Mannheim.
