What is the Linguistics Club?
Linguistics Club is a student-run club open to anyone who is interested in linguistic topics! We talk about a different linguistic topic every week, play related games, and are currently in the process of making our own CU-themed Conlang. The club is a great way to meet people, and to talk about linguistics even without any experience in the field. Meetings are weekly on Mondays at 6:00-7:30pm in the Lucile Berkeley Buchanan building, room 143. Everyone is also invited to join our discord server here, even if they can't make it to meetings! We hope to see you there!
The Ling Club officers for the 2023-2024 year are El Hayes (CU Conlang Officer), Solán Wheeler (President), Jake Burton (Vice-President), Riley Carroll (Treasurer), Olivia Bahr (Discord Officer), and Tessa Moskoff (Communications Officer).
