Welcome to USiL!
USIL is an undergraduate student organization at USC dedicated to the enrichment of linguistics students’ academic experience. The organization was founded in 2000 for a sense of support and community among undergraduates. USIL has been providing information on graduate school, as well as career opportunities for those who plan to pursue linguistics after graduation, and feedback on the curriculum to the department’s undergraduate committee.
On November 8, 2024, USiL members were invited to visit the speech technology firm Gridspace in downtown Los Angeles.
