Nick Aoki wins Outstanding Graduate Student Teaching Award

One of our own soon-to-be-graduating PhD students, Nick Aoki, has received one of Graduate Studies' annual "Outstanding Graduate Student Teaching" awards (OGTA), valued at $1,000! This award recognizes the contributions of graduate students who thrive in teaching positions at UC Davis. Nick has demonstrated on multiple occasions that he has a natural penchant for instruction, and this readily shines through in not only his interactions with students, but also his stance on the world of linguistics and language-related pedagogical practices more broadly. 

Let us congratulate Nick for being one of only a dozen students selected from the entirety of UC Davis to receive this honor.
