The French House is celebrating 100 years !
With more than 2000 undergraduate residents over the years, scores of conferences and lectures hosted and celebrated, and who knows how many baguettes and bourguignons consumed, what was once a bright idea of a few dedicated faculty in 1918 has blossomed into a Madison landmark.
In January 2018, we began celebrating, big and small, and we were happy to see and hear from many of you along the way. Our celebrations will wrap on Homecoming Weekend, October 19-20, 2018, with a Historical Lecture, the Centennial Celebration Gala, and our Tailgate Brunch at the French House before the big game against Illinois.
All Centennial Events are listed below. For regular updates, please make sure you join our mailing list, like us on Facebook and connect on LinkedIn.
