LSU presents the Careers and Opportunities with Linguistics Degrees (C.O.L.D.) Series

May 20, 2025

The LSU is proud to present the Careers and Opportunities with Linguistics Degrees (C.O.L.D.) Series! The series aims to inform students about various paths available with their Linguistics degree, via presentations by SFU alums who have faced the same questions and uncertainties that current students are facing. 

About COLD 2025

This year, there will be two presentations on Thursday, May 29th. These talks are meant to help inform students about various opportunities available through a Linguistics degree — both during and after undergrad — and the presenters are all SFU alumni! Be sure to stay connected with the LSU on Instagram, Discord, and Linktree to stay updated on events. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to the LSU President, Itzel Symonds. See also the LSU section of this website.

To attend in-person, register to join us in RCB 6152 on Thursday, May 29th at 6:00pm. If you prefer to attend virtually, the Zoom link will also be made available to those who register.
