American Dialect Society members are invited to nominate outstanding students for a Presidential Honorary Membership. Each year the ADS president awards three of these memberships. Recipients are given four years of complimentary membership and recognition at the annual luncheon, which will be held in Washington, D.C. in January 2016.

Any student, graduate or undergraduate, is eligible. Any ADS member may nominate a candidate by sending an explanatory letter of recommendation to President Robert Bayley at rjbayley@ucdavis.edu. Relevant attachments may be included with the recommendation.

The deadline is October 30, 2015
