Filling Sara Vega-Liros shoes in the department office until her replacement is hired is Aaron Walker. He spent last week getting a crash course from Sarah on office managing, and will start up full time Monday.  Stop on in and welcome Aaron to the department

Sarah Vega-Liros accepts job

Sarah Vega-Liros, who has been the Linguistics Department's able Office Manager and Assistant to the Head for the past eight some years has accepted a new position as Research Business Manager Liaison for the schools of Humanities and Fine Arts and Social and Behavioral Sciences. It is with considerable regret that WHISC announces that this Friday, September 10th, will be her last day in the linguistics department. Ms. Vega-Liros was instrumental in upgrading WHISC to its present cutting-edge technology, and our entire editorial and reporting staff have relied heavily on her support since WHISC's inception.

Fortunately, her new office will be next door, in Machmer W34B. Our investigators have discovered, however, that this office is buried deep within a cluster, so visit her now while she is still reasonably accessible.

The entire WHISC staff wish her well in her new position.
