Outreach
Calling all LSC Maryland Day volunteers. Attend this one-hour training session to learn the language science activities for demonstrations with the visiting local community on Maryland Day.
Stop by the Language Science Center's tent at Tawes Plaza at the University of Maryland's largest community outreach event!
If you're volunteering for the language science tent at Maryland Day, or if you're just interested in how to talk to people about language science, come learn how to run some tried-and-true demos from outreach veterans Erika Exton, Lauren Salig, and Kathleen Oppenheimer.
Lunch will be served; please arrive by 12:15 to get your food before the training starts!
