Outreach
This holiday season, please help us collect books to send home with PGPCS students participating in the MILEStones Reading Tutor Program. MILEstones is an after-school reading program to support emergent readers using Reading Ready, an evidence-based reading program at two elementary schools: Hollywood Elementary School and Kingsford Elementary School.
The Maryland Language Science Center has received a grant from the National Science Foundation to support a collaborative project across researchers from UMD, Gallaudet, and Howard Universities and the new Planet Word museum in Washington, DC.
In April 2018, over 40 students and faculty from UMD and other universities helped staff the Language Science for Everyone booth at the USA Science and Engineering Festival at the DC convention center. An estimated 2,000 people visited the booth over the course of the three-day event.
In the current political climate, UMD language scientists are more motivated than ever to reach out to non-scientists and advocate to decision makers on issues related to language science. We’re off to a running start with three events in January and February.
