Good bye, Helen!

After seven years in the Department of Linguistics, our very own administrative staff Helen Lewis is leaving to accept a new position at Harvard. Beginning November 10, she will be Student Coordinator in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations (NELC). While we all congratulate her on the promotion and wish her the best of luck, she will be painfully missed! Here are some photos from the Good bye lunch that took place last Thursday, November 6.
