As previously reported, in July 2021 we mourned the loss of beloved PhD student and undergraduate advisor, Jiahui Huang. The Jiahui Huang Memorial Fund was established shortly after his passing to support the installation of the Jiahui Huang Memorial Bench outside the entrance of Guggenheim Hall. Fifty-one donors contributed to the fund, a testament to the large number of lives Jiahui had a positive impact on. Enough funds were raised to allow the bench to be installed in October 2021, on the north side of the main entrance to Guggenheim Hall on the University of Washington campus. Funds donated in excess of the cost of the bench are being used to support Linguistics students at all levels.
