Congratulations to our wonderful undergraduate and graduate students in Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, and Indigenous Language Revitalization, who completed degrees or certificates in 2016-17. We're proud of you all! And congratulations also to Laura Davis (BA Ling), who won the Jubilee Medal for the highest standing in Humanities, and to Marianne Huijsmans (MA Ling), who won the Lieutenant’s Governor’s Silver Medal for the best Master's thesis at UVic. Bravo!

Ewa Czaykowska-Higgins is the Linguistics co-investigator on a multi-disciplinary SSHRC Insight Grant, involving team members from French, English, the UVic Libraries, and the Humanities Computing and Media Centre. Through four different case studies, the grant addresses how to conclude and archive projects in Digital Humanities so as to maintain their dynamic features and ensure their long term usability.

Congratulations to Ben James-Groon! The 2016 winner of the Margaret and Richard Beck Research Travel Award which provides travel to Iceland for the purpose of research or course work.
