Biba Bibbs!

Earlier this July, Richard Bibbs defended his dissertation on Phonological Asymmetries from Phonetic Substance: Case Studies in the Special Status of Laryngeals (chaired by Ryan Bennett, with committee members Grant and Amanda). That, of course, merits its own kudos, but … there’s more.

While Richard has left the halls of Stevenson, he hasn’t wandered too far: on 9/15, he started his new role as an Undergraduate Advisor in the Economics department here on campus. Richard reports that he is excited to continue helping UCSC students, now outside of the Linguistics major. He promises to visit the department when he can, but you can visit him too: his new digs are in Engineering 2.
