Senior thesis defenses and awards

Congratulations to Nish Trivedi and Amy Rosen, who successfully defended their honors theses under the direction of Dr. Syrett. Here they are enjoying their celebratory bubble tea afterwards!

Nish completed an honors thesis for her Cognitive Science major entitled, “Prosodic marking of information structure and contrastive focus in autistic adults.”

Amy completed an honors thesis for her Linguistics major entitled, “Communication across modalities:
An investigation of co-speech gesture in a lexical suppression task.” Amy was awarded Highest Honors and the Department of Linguistics Award for Research Excellence for her work.

Congratulations to both of these hard working, model junior researchers! You make us proud!
