Donc, nous avons 茅tabli des partenariats internationaux avec des universit茅s de premier plan dans le monde francophone pour b茅n茅ficier de notre h茅ritage fran莽ais louisianais unique et pour 茅largir les opportunit茅s bilingues. (Therefore, we have established international partnerships in the French-speaking world for the benefit of our unique Louisiana French heritage and for increased bilingual opportunities). Our first partner is Universit茅 Claude Bernard Lyon 1, part of the Universit茅 de Lyon with whom we are developing study abroad opportunities in Medical French as well as broader education in kinesiology and sport management.
