Francophone Association

The Francophone Association, or l’Association Francophone, spreads francophone culture on Drew’s campus in the form of events and public announcements on social media. Its mission is to “provide cultural awareness to the student body at Drew University with French inspired meetings and events,” such as Soirées de Crêpes, goûters in Mead Hall, French career nights, Honors thesis preparation meetings, and movie nights. Everyone is welcome to participate in the club’s events, regardless of French-language background.

The club meets once a month and communicates frequently with its members through social media. It uses Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to announce events and exciting opportunities.
