Our Stories

Evelyn was … an active role model for countless women academics in science, a champion of women’s rights, and a promoter of education in the arts.

I have always looked at my job … as a guide who strives to conduct students toward the appreciation of the language and the acceptance of different cultural aspects.

I always try to create a stimulating and cooperative environment in which the students feel comfortable to practice Spanish from day one.

I make my best effort each day to teach each class session with a refreshed mindset, so that I can help new students and meet their needs each school year.

My teaching objective is to help students learn how to communicate in a socially and situationally appropriate manner in the target language and culture.

I present to my students a multi-layered and multi-angled perspective on what it means to be French within the European Union as well as in the Francophone world.

The language classroom is an inspiring locus where I share the elegance and the relevance of French studies with my students.

I look forward to involving interested students in ongoing research projects and being available to advise and mentor student-led projects and activities.

When students are effectively motivated, they can really enjoy the learning process.
