The Queens College French Club recently won a grant competition sponsored by the French Embassy. They will research and develop a guidebook and website devoted to French and Francophone cultural, commercial, and dining sites in Queens, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island and Manhattan above 96th St. The project will carried out in Spring 2016 and we would like to involve students from many different majors.

Students will gain skills in writing and editing and will be listed as co-authors and editors of the guidebook/web site.
