USiL is a student-run organization at the University of Southern California geared towards students interested in linguistics. We are the only organization at USC dedicated to the enrichment of linguistics students’ academic experience at the undergraduate level. We hold academic discussions, homework help sessions for GE classes, faculty dinners, and social outings. We also provide information on graduate school, and career opportunities for those who plan to pursue a career in linguistics after graduation. USiL is open to all students but is catered towards those students who are deeply fascinated by language and the impacts it has on humanity, as well as those students who participate as a major or minor in linguistics or in a related field of study at USC.
