The UK Department of Linguistics has been selected as the new home for the Linguistic Atlas Project, the largest survey of American dialects in the country. The materials are in the process of being transferred from the University of Georgia. With the help of UK Libraries they will be made widely available to the UK community and beyond, making the project a centerpiece for future engagement and outreach efforts.

The scholarship program, Strengthening Underserved Communities through Enhanced Student Support (SUCCESS) in Speech-Language Pathology, began in 2016 and has granted 64 students to date with financial assistance totaling more than $1.5 million.

A fascinating project, initiated by Jennifer Cramer and Kevin McGowan, professors in the Department of Linguistics, aims to capture the various voices of UK. The venture, dubbed Wildcat Voices, started nearly two years ago and continues to gain interest.
