It is wonderful to see how the program has evolved over the years to better serve the students--French majors and non-majors alike. I went the spring of 1965 in my sophomore year and had life-changing learning experiences in Aix living with a local family and taking all my classes in French. My roommate and I decided we would not speak English to each other, and I wrote my journal in French. I love seeing it when I run across it to this day. Vanderbilt-in-France was a highlight of my university experience. I have returned to Aix once with my husband to show him all the sites and to remember, but have been to France several times. Although I didn't use my French major to teach, I have continued to use French over the years for business and for pleasure. Our family took a foreign exchange daughter from France for a year--and she has been a part of us ever since. Now we have 3 precious foreign exchange grandchildren who live near Nice whom we visit and who visit us. A third generation of American/French appreciation, bonding, and understanding is evolving as a direct result of my Vanderbilt experience. I would love to hear from any of my fellow students from our semester together. Thanks for letting me see the new VIF! I loved this article.
