Maryland hosts satellite of the 35th Conference on Human Sentence Processing.

March 24-26, UMD hosts an in-person portion of the 35th Conference on Human Sentence Processing Conference (aka CUNY), in order to help with difficulties caused by Omicron. Our portion features several dozen participants and speakers, lightening the load of the main conference at UC Santa Cruz, supervised by our alum Matt Wagers *08. HSP22 also has several presentations by current Terps, listed below, along with many others by alumni and past visitors.
