We had a great opportunity to get together as an LSO along with some faculty and families this past Saturday. It was great to play games, get to know each other a bit more, and just hang out. Good food – good people – good times.

It’s time to start of another year of amazing linguistics at UIUC! We would like to welcome the incoming cohorts of graduate students!
