Stanford linguists at the Undergraduate Major Fair

On September 30, Stanford linguists worked to recruit the next generation of linguists at the Undergraduate Major Fair. John Rickford, Boris Harizanov, Laura Schilling, Sunwoo Jeong, Tyler Lemon, Bonnie Krejci, and Lelia Glass chatted with over 50 undergraduates, canvassing them about our department's all-star faculty, friendly atmosphere, and opportunities to get involved in research.  Many students walked away from the booth wanting to try a linguistics course later in the year, and all of them came away with a better idea of what linguistics is and why it is fascinating.
