French Graduate Students Association & Colloquiums
The French Graduate Students Association serves as a forum for students on both the masters and doctoral
level. Through meetings and a regular dialogue with the department
administration, the FGSA provides an organized channel through which graduate students
voice their interests and concerns and make suggestions to the
faculty. Graduate student colloquiums are held once or twice a year
where students deliver papers or hold roundtables on research
topics.
