Join linguistics students at the tables by Dr. Olsen’s office (McClain 329) to study and socialize this afternoon (and every Friday during the semester) from 3:00-4:00 PM!

This is a great chance for new students to meet returning students, chat about how the first two weeks of the semester have gone, get your homework done before the weekend starts, and there might even be guest appearances by your LING professors dropping by to say hi! 👋
