Events are planned from Friday the 14th of July through Sunday the 16th. We will have a welcome reception Friday evening, events throughout the day Saturday, and a dinner Saturday evening, with an open mic that will allow for remote participation (we hope to have dancing, which you will also be able to participate in remotely, but not in a synchronized way, due to the laws of physics). The celebration will finish at 1:30 Sunday at the end of lunch.
Friday welcome
We will be welcoming those of you who have arrived by Friday afternoon at 4-6 pm in the Linguistics Department, on the 4th floor of the Integrative Learning Center. If you will be here earlier, and would like to connect with others who are here, say to have dinner together, please leave a comment on this linked page.
Saturday full day
The events from 9-5 will be taking place on the first floor of the Integrative Learning Center, in the portion of the building closest to the Campus Center. Presentations will be in N151, a large auditorium-style room. There is a lot of outdoor space with tables right outside. The events starting at 5 will take place on the 10th floor of the Campus Center in the Amherst room.
