PEOPLE
Our department is a close-knit community, further enriched by strong social ties and daily interaction with our colleagues from other departments in CLS. Through the Rochester winters we manage to keep each other entertained.
Below is a general directory for Linguistics and CLS. For more specific querries, shorter directories are available for Linguistics faculty, CLS faculty, staff, students and associates.
