HUMANITIES AWARDS CEREMONY

At the Humanities Spring Awards celebration on Thursday May 29th, Abbey Katz presented her HUGRA-award winning poster on Hebrew Nicknames and Phonology, while Michael Titone presented the paper that won him a Dean’s Undergraduate Research Award (On the Semantics of the `Nothing if Not’ constructions). Also at the event Chelsea Miller celebrated her Chancellor’s Award for Undergraduate Research (on the processing of ellipsis in English) with her advisor Matt Wagers and chair Sandy Chung. Also celebrating was the Syntax Five Gang (Tony Zavala, Nich Eggert, Sean Johnson, Vince Del Prado, Hannah Elston, Kristen Sheets, Rachelle Boyson, Chelsea Miller, and Britt Fadelli) who had also just received a Dean’s award for their collaborative project on English causatives. A subset of the group paused to have their picture taken with Jorge Hankamer who, along with Jim McCloskey, advised the project.
