Philanthropic Support
Our donors play a critical role in advancing our mission: to provide our students with an excellent education, and to produce top-quality research.
The Department of French is unique in the breadth and depth of its teaching and research in French language, literature and linguistics. Each year, more than 3,000 students enrol in French courses at U of T, and the scholarly diversity of our faculty members reflects the cultural, linguistic and ethnic diversity of the new global reality of the French-speaking world.
As we prepare students for a globalized world, we recognize the urgency to better understand the changing face and increasing complexity of the French-speaking world. The imperative is particularly pressing because new generations of Canadians will require even greater cultural fluency in order to successfully navigate a radically transforming global reality. By fostering the vibrancy of French literary and language studies, your support will help U of T to meet this challenge.
