November 17, 2009 - Carol Murphy SAS'69, Director of the France-Florida Research Institute and a professor of French in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, received the title Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur, or knight of the legion, for her work in facilitating academic and research collaboration between France and the United States. The decoration ceremony took place at the residence of the French ambassador to the U.S. in Washington, D.C.

 
Carol was a french major at The College of New Rochelle and graduated in 1969.  Several members of 1969 were on hand to cheer her accomplishment. Carol was quoted in a University of Florida News Article saying,“I am truly honored and humbled to be recognized by France for my efforts, but no one stands alone in such enterprises,” Murphy said. “I have many colleagues in French studies at UF to thank for their collective energy and expertise in making the FFRI a success.”
