tokenization splitting terms with & in them

[ggiavelli]

is there a way to tell the tokenizer to keep terms together if they split with &

e.g. How do I confirm my attendance at an L&D event?

I am getting

token:confirm dep:how deptype:advmod token:confirm dep:do deptype:aux token:confirm dep:i deptype:nsubj token:confirm dep:confirm deptype:root token:attendance dep:my deptype:poss token:confirm dep:attendance deptype:dobj token:confirm dep:at deptype:prep token:l dep:a deptype:det token:at dep:l deptype:pobj
