Once again, our majors and certificate students represented our Department extremely well, with more than 400 students participating. The department congratulates DFLL majors Nayivis Cunill, Nicole Lassiter, Samantha McDonald, and Charli Tyree for winning second place in the Arts and Humanities category for their research project titled "Linguistic Landscape: Visual Language Accommodations in Birmingham Hospitals."

Steinkampf, Angélica Jaimes, Érika Pérez Ibarra, Melanie McDonald, Taylor Bartlett, Angela Hollowell, Jalen Wesley, Tina Etminan, and Meghan Ryan.
