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.

Learn how to run language science demos, and discuss the goals and challenges of outreach. We'll be joined by students and faculty from OSU, UMass, and Arizona who are visiting to volunteer at Family Science Days.
All are welcome, including undergrads, grad students, and faculty. Please RSVP here so we know how many people to plan for.
Schedule:
The Maryland Language Science Center, and the LSC Director Colin Phillips, were spotlighted in Johns Hopkins' Imagine magazine (May/June 2018 Issue) in a piece titled, "Discover Linguistics."
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.

Come learn about how the student Outreach Committee has been spreading the gospel about language science, and find out how you can get involved. Lunch will be provided!
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.
