We were extremely proud to have multiple Linguistics majors and students participate in the Undergraduate Symposium this year!
The annual symposium allows undergraduates from across the university to share and celebrate the creative, original research projects that they work on with a faculty mentor. Many projects draw on the students’ expertise and interest in multiple disciplines.
We were impressed (but not surprised) with the number of linguistics or linguistics-related presentations this year, showcasing a diverse array of research questions, topics, and methodologies. Great job everyone!
