Madison Broussard embodies the profound educational impact of learning-by-doing. She came to our French program after having learned French on the fly while living in France as an au-pair for one year. She modeled the goal of the intermediate French curriculum by fine-tuning her oral and written communication skills grounded in a transformative cultural savviness. French is intertwined with Madison’s educational and professional goals and we wish her success on her French journey beyond Fullerton College.
