From January 12, 2026 to February 5, 2026, the first floor of Meyer Library will host an exhibit on French culture from Fall 2025 students in Instructor Jeff Loughary’s Elementary French and Intermediate French classes.

“This exhibit showcases student projects related to France and Quebec in relation to National French Week which is celebrated in November nation-wide,” said Loughary. “The purpose of National French Week is to share French language and cultures with community members outside of our classroom.”

The library was chosen to display 17 of these projects because it is a place where students, faculty, and staff can all enjoy the work. Each project is a recreation of artwork, such as painting, a sculpture, or a monument, with a print photo of the original beside it. Elementary French students focused on France while Intermediate French students focused on Quebec.

“The artistic representations were intended to be fun and not necessarily a true reproduction so we have projects made of Legos, wood, paintings, paper plates, an original poem, and even a moss-covered elephant to represent topiary in a public garden in Quebec!” said Loughary.
