Le Cercle français
The French Club sponsors the table française, the French concerts, film nights, attendance of French cultural plays, activities, etc., and gives students the opportunity to know other people who share similar interests.  Activities often include crêpe parties, visits to community grades schools, high schools and businesses dealing with French and French/Canadian culture.  It provides a wonderful opportunity to learn leadership skills through serving as an officer.  Contact Tiffany (wilhtm31@uwgb.edu) for further information.
