French and Francophone Studies Mentorship Program 
Are you minoring or majoring in French and Francophone Studies or are you considering adding a Minor or a Major? If so, the French and Francophone Studies Mentorship Program is for you!
This new program aims to help underclassmen discover the UF French and Francophone Studies program, explore career possibilities, and enhance a sense of community between students. It also presents upperclassmen with a great leadership opportunity and with a way to further familiarize themselves with the French faculty and with the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures (LLC).
One or two mentees will be paired with a more advanced French student who will act as their mentor/tutor. You are encouraged to speak in French. Various activities will be designed to enhance your involvement in the program.
In addition to meeting regularly, Mentors (and Mentee pairs) are encouraged to attend other program-sponsored events such as:
- 1 tutorial with a student at Language studio (1317 Turlington) 1 hour / week
- attend some of the French Club events
- Relevant Talks (as announced through the France-Florida Research Institute)
- Harn museum exhibitions or talks ex. André Kertesz exhibition.
- Center for Humanities talk(s)
- Visit the Career resource center
The mentors-tutors will be acknowledged by the French UGC or any other French faculty sponsoring them with an official letter detailing their work over the course of a semester and/or year.
