Foreign Languages News/Events
At Guilford the study of language is about more than just grammar and vocabulary; it is about people, cultures, and understanding. Activities outside of the classroom are an important part of life at Guilford and students and faculty in the Foreign Language Department organize clubs and activities to strengthen both linguistic skills and a sense of community.

Tournées Film Festival:
This film festival is made possible by a grant program that supports the screening of French and Francophone films on college campuses.
