Receiving the Bloch Fellowship for the Linguistic Institute was pivotal for my career. The networking opportunities and courses were invaluable. They have inspired my conference presentations, publications and ultimately helped me secure a role as an assistant professor at Rutgers University. Now, I’m committed to mentoring young linguists, Just as others supported me. LSA's role in my career journey cannot be overstated.
