French Language & Culture Rennes, France
Hometown: Martinsville, IN

Michael Dodds lives in Stuart, Florida and teaches middle and upper school French at The Pine School in Hobe Sound, Florida.   He is originally from Indiana and studied both French and Spanish at Purdue University.  As part of his university studies, Michael spent time studying in Montpellier, France, and Mazatlan, Mexico.   This is Michael's first summer working as a program leader with CIEE, and he is so impressed with the richness of the CIEE program.  He is grateful for the opportunity as a program leader to be immersed in the French language and French culture this summer in Rennes as he provides support and guidance to his CIEE students who are discovering France this summer.  He's excited to get back home and share what he has learned with his own students and to encourage them to sign up to be Global Navigators as part of their high school education.
