UMaine, French community members speak with WABI about Paris attacks
Members of the University of Maine’s French community spoke with WABI (Channel 5) about the terror attacks in Paris. Mitchel Roberge, president of the UMaine French Club and Franco-American Resources and Operations Group, said the show of support from Americans since the attacks has been moving. Jane Smith, a UMaine French professor and chair of UMaine’s Department of Modern Languages who has lived in Paris, told WABI she hopes the attacks won’t deter students from studying in France. A candlelight vigil will be held for those affected by the Paris terrorist attack and terrorism worldwide at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17 on the steps of Fogler Library.
