Volunteering

Each year, BUCLD relies on the help of student volunteers both before and during conference weekend. This year’s conference will run from Thursday, November 6 to Sunday, November 9, 2025.

Volunteering for the conference is a great way for both undergraduate and graduate students of linguistics at Boston University and other universities to experience the behind-the-scenes atmosphere of a language development conference, as well as partake in the conference itself.  Moreover, there are some added benefits to volunteering, such as adding a line to your CV, getting some visibility as an emerging scholar, and potentially making connections with some of the biggest names in language development. Additionally, volunteering with BUCLD can count towards volunteer hours requirements.

Student volunteers at BUCLD receive free admission to the entire conference. Expressions of interest for volunteering will open in September.
