what graduates think of the program:

Our graduates bring their expertise and leadership to the teaching and administrative teams of all Francophone programs and beyond.

In a country like Canada where both languages are supposed to be present, it is also our role to encourage this Francophone language and culture; I am proud to do this on a daily basis.
