Testimonials and Acclaim

"Professor Mary Anne Cusato is an energetic and hardworking French professor. She really finds value within her students ensuring that she can challenge them to be better French speakers and writers. Professor Cusato is not just an ordinary professor that gives you a grade and lets the interaction remain within classroom space. She opens her office not just to improve the students' abilities in French but to also connect the student with other opportunities outside class. She assisted me in some of my research grants, and in guiding me with my graduate university preparation. Professor Cusato has taught me how to better perform within academic and non-academic settings."
