Gala Benefit La Maison Française Center for French Civilization and Culture New York University honoring Maurice Lévy 2012
Transcript

Gala Benefit

F ounded in 1957, La Maison Française, the French cultural center of New York University, continues in the 21st century its preeminent role in the intellectual and artistic exchange between France and the United States.

La Maison Française is the public face of the university’s Center for French Civilization and Culture, which is the most comprehensive American academic complex devoted to the culture of France. For its principal mission, that of training graduate and undergraduate students of French language, literature, civilization, and Francophone studies, the Center boasts a nationally and internationally renowned faculty and a sizable corps of superior students.

Through its extraordinarily wide range of public activities —lectures, symposia, art exhibits, films, concerts, theatre, and special events—La Maison Française serves the university, business, government, and professional communities, as well as the general public, in the New York metropolitan area.

For support of its activities, La Maison Française of New York University seeks gifts and grants from individuals, foundations, and corporations which value its leadership contributions to French-American relations.
