What students say
“Professor Rollet truly deserves all the recognition he can get. He takes full advantage of the small class sizes to make learning interactive, assigning video projects or plays instead of speeches. He always shows us the best places to find current French media and music. He has an extreme passion for teaching and a desire to make the world a better place.” — Diane Hahn ’14
