"Félicitations" to our French majors Grace, Jaci, James, and Nicole on their research. Come see what they have to say at @catholic_urd University Research Day next Tuesday!

What better way to usher in spring than with a "Poisson d'Avril" celebration? The tradition of making paper fish and sticking them on each other with roots in 16th century France encourages pranking, but it was also an opportunity for French Students to showcase their creativity!
