What is the NYU French Club?
The goal of the NYU French Club is to foster community, develop passion, and increase interest for the French language and culture within the NYU community. The club will offer an environment in which individuals with a passion for the French language and/or culture can befriend other French speakers and help one another grow. The club will also offer numerous events monthly that will allow students to learn more about the French language and culture and will enable them to practice speaking French in a stress-free environment. The club initiatives will help create an inclusive community because its acceptance of all levels of French speakers, from beginner to fluent, and with varying levels of understanding of French culture will create a sense of inclusion and companionship for people who wish to learn and improve their French capabilities. This will build interest within the community and establish a foundation for the club, as we want students to know that this club is a safe space where they can reignite their interests in French, regarding both the language and culture, in a non-classroom setting.

Meet your Co-Presidents!

Yujing Zhang
Bonjour ! My name is Yujing, and I am a senior double majoring in French and Global Liberal Studies, and I spent an academic year in Paris. Since its establishment, the French Club has served as a bridge connecting enthusiasts of the Francophone culture on campus and in NYC at large. I am committed to facilitate and witness future adventures of the club alongside Co-President Jenny and all the E-board members!

Jenny Choi
Salut ! I'm Jenny Choi, and I'm a senior majoring in Comparative Literature and French. I'm a Co-President of the French Club alongside Yujing, and we’re excited to create and sustain a diverse space that echoes the breadth of the Francophone world. While studying French, I realized that I enjoy dedicating time to learning languages because it opens me up to so many interesting conversations with a variety of people, and it's also empowering.
