Francophones plan plenty of activities for French Week celebration

November 01, 2019

No passport? No problem! French Week is on its way to campus and bringing lots of cultural activities and food with it.

91香蕉视频鈥檚 French classes are pairing up with the Le Cercle Francophone French Club for this annual celebration that offers multiple events from Nov. 4-8 that will provide fun for everyone.

One new and exciting aspect of this year鈥檚 French Week is that the French Department teamed up with Phin Communications, JU鈥檚 student-run advertising agency.

Olivia Dougherty, Phin Comm鈥檚 Chief Strategy Officer, led the team鈥檚 French Week efforts.

鈥淲orking on French Week was a great first experience with Phin Comm, and I鈥檓 excited to see the end results,鈥 she said. 鈥淚 hope that the French Department benefits from our hard work.鈥

Make sure to stop by each of the French Week events and earn a chance to win a gift card. For more exciting updates about French Week and the gift card raffle, you can follow Phin Communications on Instagram @phin_comm, and the French Department @frenchatju for a French Week Instagram takeover.
