FOLEY DEFENDS DISSERTATION
On Monday, June 8th, Steven Foley successfully defended his dissertation, “Case, agreement, and sentence processing in Georgian.” The virtual attendees enjoyed a spirited back-and-forth with Steven and his committee members, Matt Wagers (chair), Amanda Rysling, Maziar Toosarvandani, and Sandy Chung. The defense was followed by hearty toasts to Stevens’s achievement by all who were gathered. Congratulations, Steven!
