Le Cercle Francophone
Since 2018, 探花族 has been home to Le Cercle Francophone (LCF). A France on Campus Award-winning program and two time JU Student Organization of the Year, LCF is a student-led initiative that plans activities with a French or Francophone flair.
National French Week
The first week in November is National French Week. To celebrate, French students plan and execute a variety of events open to the campus at large. In 2022, activities included a p茅tanque, a film showing, and a chalking in front of Davis Student Commons. Click here for more details!
The Little Prince Read-A-Thon
In conjunction with Le Petit Prince: Art, Expression, Philosophie (FREN202; offered in the Spring), the Department sponsors an annual read-though of Antoine de Saint-Exup茅ry's beloved classic. All JU students are invited to come and go, read and/or listen. The entire read-aloud of this short novella takes a little under 2 hours and is held outdoors in the Council Courtyard. Rain location is announced in advance.
