The UIUC Linguistics Student Organization provides several services to students at UIUC. Membership is open to graduates and undergraduates from linguistics and related fields, as well as to any student interested in the study of language. The LSO organizes social events, has produced three Linguistics Dept. T-Shirts and a mug for fundraising purposes. Recent speakers that the LSO has hosted: William Labov in 2007; Daniel Everett, David Lightfoot, and Ray Jackendoff in 2008; and Paul Boersma in 2009.

In addition, we try to have weekly meetings, which will be held Fridays at **1 pm** in the Linguistics Reading Room in the FLB. And, Thursdays at 5 pm (after the department's seminars), we have a moving happy hour. Locations are sent out over the email list.

If you're interested in the organization or would like to know more, please direct e-mail to Daniel Carr (dqcarr2@illinois.edu) or Amanda Huensch (huensch@illinois.edu).
