The Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures is proud to see another group of 10 students travel to the beautiful islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon to be immersed in francophone language and culture.

The students were recently featured in the local news – check out what they have to say .

Led by Dr. Samantha Carron, the Frecker Program Director, the group departed in early September for a full semester of study abroad. While in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, students are studying French and living with local host families, allowing them to gain first-hand experience of daily life in a Francophone community.

We are grateful to the families who continue to graciously host our students in their homes and to the residents of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon for welcoming our students to their community.

The Frecker program receives funding from the Government of Canada and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador under the Federal-Provincial Agreement on Official Languages in Canada in the form of bursaries awarded to students accepted to participate in this opportunity.

These partnerships have enriched the educational experiences of ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University students for more than 50 years – a tradition we’re proud to see continue.
