Jean F. Gounard, director of international student affairs, chaired the annual business meeting of the NAFSA Francophone World Special Interest Group at the meeting of NAFSA: Association of International Educators in Houston, Texas, May 27–June 1 and, subsequently, he was reelected chair of the group. During that meeting, official representatives from various parts of the Francophone world spoke on the status of the French language today. In addition, Gounard chaired a session titled “Francophone West African: Student Credentials: Transferring to the U.S. System.” These meetings also marked the 11th anniversary of the signature of the Memorandum of Friendship between NAFSA and l’Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie initiated by Gounard in 2001, since he was already chair of the NAFSA Francophone World Special Interest Group.
