Ivan Galvan '20
Assistant de langue at France Education International
I wanted to learn how to communicate with others, analyze, and come to understand some of the greatest pieces of literature written and transport myself to a culture vastly different than the one I grew up in. The French Studies major at USF did all of that for me, and opened up doors for me in San Francisco and abroad that provide ample opportunities for further exploration and study."
