After five years of giving her all to the Child Language Lab, the University of Connecticut, and her doctoral studies, DOCTOR Cynthia Boo has triumphantly defended her dissertation and been awarded her PhD. We are beyond proud to have seen Cynthia grow as a student, researcher, and mentor to others during her time here. We know that she will accomplish amazing things in her next step– a postdoc position at Dr. Marjorie Rhodes’s lab at NYU– and beyond. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us, Dr. Boo!

Cynthia and Letty celebrate Cynthia’s hooding.
