Meet the 2023-24 UDRs

UDRs serve as student representatives of the Linguistics program, organize events for undergraduate linguistics students and provide feedback to faculty and staff. They are also available to provide information to both current and prospective undergraduate students.

In his free time Braedy plays for the Brandeis quadball team and he likes to play card games, run D&D campaigns, and learn random things. Feel free to reach out to Braedy with any questions!
