The university won its third annual French American Cultural Exchange Tournées Festival grant for a showcase of contemporary, critically acclaimed French cinema. Screenings will be in the Gleason Performing Arts Center. The Tournées Festival was made possible with the support of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and the French Ministry of Culture.
