THE RIGHT HONORABLE SANDRA CHUNG

Sandy received the 2016-2017 Faculty Research Award at this year’s Founders Celebration Dinner, a festive ceremony this past Saturday that was attended by over 200 students, faculty, alumni, university representatives, and state and local elected officials. In her remarks after accepting the honor, she acknowledged her father and the Chamorro people. A short video was shown describing her influential research on the syntax and processing of Chamorro. As part of the award, Sandy will give the Faculty Research Lecture on February 7th.

Luckily for some attendees, a shrewdness of semanticists on hand for CUSP was available for consultation on the extension of the term “festive cocktail attire“.
