UMass is delighted to host ECO5, a graduate student workshop on
syntax. All are welcome to attend! Here are the essential details:

If you attend ECO5, you will probably hear talks from the following people:

...and possibly others!
Getting there is easy! Herter Hall may be found on the following map:

There are metered parking spots along Presidents Dr. and there are
parking lots along Swift Way (Mass Ave.) Since it is the weekend, you
don't need to pay the meters or have the correct parking permits. If
you are coming by PVTA bus, the UMass/Haigis Mall stop is right in
front of Herter.
We'll start with a breakfast of bagels and coffee at 10, with talks
starting at 10:30. At noon, we'll have a pizza lunch courtesy of
UMass and then resume talks during the afternoon. Then on to
Northampton for the afterparty!
The afterparty will feature dinner, home-cooked by grad students! In
the tradition of UMass colloq dinners, we hope that guests will bring
drinks. If you feel so inclined, bring a beverage to share.
We are excited to be hosting ECO5 and we hope to see you there!
