The Robert Johnson Award for outstanding achievement in French and Francophone Studies by an undergraduate major has been awarded this year to Senior Emily Su Bin Ko. In addition to Emily’s consistently excellent, insightful and enthusiastic performance in every French class that she has taken towards her primary major in French & Francophone Studies, Emily’s energy and enthusiasm has allowed her to complete not one, but two additional primary majors in Film Studies (BDIC) and Philosophy, as well as a secondary major in Psychology. Not surprisingly, Emily’s amazing intellectual curiosity led her to apply and gain admission to several graduate programs. Her interest in modernist art cinema, particularly the French New Wave, contributed to Emily’s decision to accept an offer of admission to the MA in Film and Media Studies at Columbia University. Congratulations, Emily! We will miss your always positive and valuable presence in our classes and we all wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors!
