It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that we inform you of the death of our colleague and friend, Stéphanie Beltrando. She had been bravely fighting cancer for 8 years.
Stéphanie joined LSE in 2000 and for the next 23 years taught across the range for French language courses at the LSE Language Centre. Before coming to LSE, she studied at the University of Montpellier, The Sorbonne Nouvelle University (Paris), and took a PGCE in French at Greenwich University.
Stéphanie was a valued member of the French team and was Highly Commended again in the 2023 LSE Class Teachers Awards. She was one of the kindest people and will be missed by all.
My condolence goes to Stephanie’s family and LSE friends and colleagues. We will surely miss Stephanie for her generous commitment to the academe and as a champion of the expansion of the French language.
My condolences to Stephanie’s family.
French class with Stephanie was always the highlight of my week — her kindness, humor, joy, and inclusive teaching will be missed.
