Ringing in the New (Academic) Year

Last Friday we had our welcome reception for the 2012-2013 academic year, welcoming the newest members of our department. We also recognized several achievements by members of the department, including new appointments of tenure (Cristina Cuervo, Michela Ippolito, and Alexei Kochetov) and the successful completion of the MA program by last year's cohort (Erin Brassell, Julie Doner, Erin Hall, Shannon Mooney, Kyle Weishaar, and Tomohiro Yokoyama). We also announced that Ross Godfrey was the winner of the first Elan Dresher Award, which is to be awarded annually to the graduate student who writes the best phonology course paper.

Midway through the party, we noticed that many of the attending linguists were unintentionally colour-coordinated!
