Yesterday, the Pi Delta Phi ceremony at Georgia Tech brought together students, faculty, and alumni to celebrate academic excellence and a shared commitment to French language and Francophone cultures.
The ceremony honored students who have demonstrated consistent dedication to advancing their French studies, both in and beyond the classroom at Georgia Tech.
A highlight of the program was a musical interlude performed by French students of School of Modern Languages at Georgia Tech, which added a beautiful cultural and artistic dimension to the ceremony.
As new members were inducted into Pi Delta Phi, the gathering underscored the importance of language learning in fostering global understanding, connection, and scholarly achievement.

Congratulations to all inductees on this well-earned honor!
