Departmental Activities

Graduate students should participate in the activities sponsored by the Department of French and Francophone Studies, which form part of their professional training.

Table Ronde
Held several times each semester, this forum provides faculty and graduate students with the opportunity to hear about new developments in research from visitors as well as faculty and graduate students at Penn State. At the beginning of each semester, the faculty Coordinator of the Table Ronde solicits suggestions from faculty and students to be presented at the various meetings. Since these meetings are designed to contribute to the professional development of graduate students, they are expected to attend all sessions.

Film Series
The French and Francophone Studies Department, along with other departments at Penn State, sponsors an annual free-admission film series in 113 Carnegie on Thursday evenings at 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. Instructors are encouraged to include attendance by students at one or more films as part of course requirements. The current listing of films can be found online.
