News Highlights
"I chose to enroll in the French Cohort Program because the program not only allowed me to study Political Science (which I love), but also because it encouraged me to better manifest my Francophonie. I really liked how much the department cared for me. I was one of the first to transfer into the program after completing studies elsewhere. Throughout my time at SFU, the Office of Francophone and Francophile Affairs was very proactive in advising me. Since graduating, I have often stood out from other candidates due to the fact that my degree is bilingual."
