DM for the address and to RSVP. See you there!

I hate to break it to you, but finals are right around the corner…BUUUUUT LingUA has whipped up another set of review sessions! Sit back, relax, and let us take a bit of the weight off your shoulders.

Current U0 students can run for an Exec position provided they declare a Linguistics program for next year, and Cognitive Science majors who specialize in Linguistics are also eligible to run.
