Alumni
Your Linguistics Alumni Network
Alumni from the Department of Linguistics are traveling the world, building careers, and making an impact in your communities. We'd love to know more about where you are and what you are doing—see our survey below—and also share success stories of other alumni. We invite you to support current students in making their experience at the UO a strong foundation for future careers.
We’d love to know what you’re doing and how your experience in the Department of Linguistics has made a difference in your career. We often brag that people who have a degree in Linguistics are exceptionally good at analysis and understand how to take more than one perspective towards solving any problem—we would love some stories from your life and work that might illustrate this claim. Please take our survey and let us know what you’re up to.
As you know, our students are among the best in the university — they combine intelligence and curiosity with a strong work ethic, putting in serious hours to develop excellent analytical skills, often while working part time. Your support for scholarships will help us reward excellence and, by buying time for top students to do additional academic work, enhance our recruitment efforts.
Our alumni work on every major continent: Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South America. An impressive number of our alumni with a BA in Linguistics are exploring employment abroad, but many have found opportunities right here in the US as well. We hope you enjoy these stories from other alumni,
