France: Cultural Showcase

On April 4th, 2013 from 4pm to 6pm, a group of French students from SKEMA program at NC State and under the wonderful leadership of one particular student, Ms. Mathilde Decamp,s helped OIS showcase their home country – France.

Dozens of French students provided a two-hour long experience for the NCSU community on French language, music and culture through thoughtful displays, food samples, music and various short workshops. Apart from a fun display on French gastronomy, the students provided samples of French toast, crepes, and apple pies for the guests in Caldwell lounge. Students also created an opportunity for visitors to practice their French with native speakers, and enjoy their visit through enjoyable sounds of guitar music in the background.
