Hi everyone, See below! Please contact Alex Kohut directly if you have any questions. ---- Dear Linguistics Enthusiasts, Happy October! I'm writing on behalf of the organizing committee for the *Boston University Conference on Language Development (BUCLD) 45* to enlist your help in making this year's conference a success! For those of you who are unfamiliar, BUCLD is one of the largest student-run linguistics conferences in the world. BUCLD is an internationally recognized meeting of researchers in language acquisition and development, including first and second language acquisition, language disorders, bilingualism, and literacy development. You can read more about the conference here http://www.bu.edu/bucld/conference-info/. This year due to the strange circumstances we find ourselves in with the pandemic, we plan to hold the conference virtually - the show must go on! - November 5th - 8th. *But we cannot do it without your help!* We need volunteers to moderate the question and answer periods for the presentations. Volunteers will attend a brief one-hour training leading up to the conference and then be assigned 2.5-3 hours over 1-2 shifts during the conference. This is a really great way to get an insider look at the conference and have some visibility among some of the biggest names in acquisition research, not to mention another line you can add to your CV. Also, for those of you who may have volunteer hours requirements, volunteer hours with BUCLD can count towards those! When you are ready to sign-up, please visit our website at http://www.bu.edu/bucld/conference-info/volunteers/ and fill out the volunteer registration form with your availability and contact information. I'll be in touch in mid-October with your shift assignment and to confirm your availability. If you have questions about volunteering, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. Also, if you know of someone that is interested in volunteering, please have them e-mail me at aekohut@bu.edu. Thank you! Alex
