Welcome to the Society of Linguistics Undergraduate Students, or SLUgS for short! We are UC Berkeley's official student linguistics society, and we're glad you've made your way to our website. Revived in 2005 by the by the now-renowned linguist David J. Peterson, this organization hosts the brightest young minds of the linguistic world in a space that facilitates open, rapid learning.

Every weekly meeting features an activity designed to immerse students of all experience levels into the field of linguistics. Whether it's a tour of Berkeley's linguistics labs, a spelling bee using the IPA, or trying to elicit a new language from a monolingual speaker, there's always something exciting happening at SLUgS.

Our signature event is an annual Symposium. Held every spring, this is a presentation of undergraduate linguistics research from esteemed universities around the world.
