It serves as a focal point for the French and Francophone community at Penn and constitutes the primary gateway between the French world and Penn students and faculty. The French Society at Penn acts as a platform that co
nnects people interested in the French culture and offers the opportunity to meet, speak French and exchange ideas. It also strives to expose the Penn community to the French language, literature, cinema, art, gastronomy, politics and philosophy. It is finally a prime source of information on academic and employment opportunities in France.
