The Linguistic Department’s new student support fund is being launched this week in conjunction with the UMass Gives fundraising campaign, this Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th: https://umass.scalefunder.com/gday/giving-day/4514/department/8020. Please share the link in your social media, and check out the video on the site that we prepared for the launch, which features our lovely building and some of our great graduate students!

The student support fund will help to support graduate students’ summer research projects, conference travel, and research expenses. Increased summer funding is both a departmental and UMass Graduate School priority: it helps students of all backgrounds devote themselves to their research all year long.
