Dr. Uta Larkey Wins AATG / Goethe-Institut Award

The American Association of Teachers of German (AATG) and the Goethe-Institut New York will present their annual Certificate of Merit to Uta Larkey, a professor of German at Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr. Larkey has been an active member of the Maryland / DC Metro AATG and currently serves on the Board.

She  is one of seven recipients of the 2004 award for outstanding achievement in furthering the teaching of German in schools, colleges, and universities in the United States.  One of her more recent initiatives takes a group of Goucher students to Berlin during the January break in between semesters.

This prestigious award has been presented annually since 1978 by the AATG and the Goethe-Institut to a select group of educators in the field of German.  The presentation will take place at the AATG Awards Luncheon on November 20 during the AATG's Annual Meeting in Chicago.

Nominations originate with the local AATG chapter in the state in which the recipient resides, or through individual AATG members.  A panel of AATG and Goethe-Institut personnel selects the winners from those nominated.

Certificate of Merit winners receive a cash award, as well as a certificate toward the purchase of materials for the teaching of German.
