Dear colleagues, friends, and family,
You are warmly invited to join us in celebrating Robin Tolmach Lakoff's life and her immense impact on Linguistics and beyond. The UC Berkeley Department of Linguistics will be hosting a memorial service at the Alumni House, UC Berkeley, on Sunday, November 2, 2025, from 1-4 p.m. PST. This gathering will provide an opportunity to honor Robin's memory, share stories, and connect with one another.
To assist us with event planning, please contact Susan Luong for the RSVP form, which includes an option to share a reflection or memory of Robin that may be incorporated into the tribute.
We hope you can join us as we remember and celebrate a truly remarkable individual.
With sincere regards,
Prof. Peter Jenks, Chair
