Office Hours and Contact Info
The physical office of the Department of Linguistics in Bond Hall will be open most weekdays between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., but there are many things Kristin Denham and Sara Helms can assist you with by phone or email. They can help with advising, declaring a major or minor, or completing a degree evaluation electronically.
For questions about our program, classes, registration, the major or minor requirements, general information about linguistics, or to make an in-person advising appointment, please contact the Department Chair Kristin Denham by email (preferred), Kristin.Denham@wwu.edu, or by phone, 360-650-3217. You can also contact the Department Manager Sara Helms by email (preferred), Sara.Helms@wwu.edu, or by phone, 360-650-3914.
