Culture Shock is a student-run branch of the French and Italian Department at the University of Minnesota. We strive to provide current and relevant information about French and Italian culture to today’s students. We also serve as a medium for students to learn about opportunities in the community and FRIT department. We may be reached through e-mail at fritnews@umn.edu.
Meet the Editors:
Delaney Churchwell is a sophomore at the University of Minnesota majoring in Italian Studies with intentions of a second major in English. She has traveled to Italy once, but plans to go again as a study abroad student in Bologna. She likes to read books and eat pasta. She looks forward to fueling enthusiasm among students of Italian (and those who simply have a casual interest in it) through pop culture, excursions, and the gastric satisfaction that follows a plate of Italian food.
Madelaine Kluesner is a senior of the University of Minnesota majoring in Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies and French Studies. She spent the summer of 2012 studying abroad in Montpellier, France, and has been a student in French for 7 years and counting. She is looking forward to helping facilitate the French conversation and tutoring groups to encourage discussion and community within the undergraduate French department.
