linguistlist.org>Dear Linguists, Thanks to the generosity of the people listed at the end of this message, we have collected $34,060 of the $35,000 we need. That means we need only $940 more in order to support the students who will edit LINGUIST in the coming year. Some of you have noticed that our student editors have been writing some of the fund drive letters. This year's crew also planned the fund drive from its inception: they ordered the T-shirts, took the promotional pictures, put up the fund drive web page (and designed the piggy-bank emblem), and have been spending 4 hours a day processing donations--in addition to performing their regular LINGUIST duties. We have always been extremely lucky in the caliber of students we have been able to enlist as LINGUIST editors. And they, of course, have been lucky to have the support of you, our LINGUIST subscribers. Since 1994, when the LINGUIST fellowhips were inaugurated, LINGUIST subscribers have financed the educations of 12 outstanding graduate students. We thought that you might be interested to learn what they are doing now. Your donations funded: 2 student editors at Texas A&M: One has finished his Ph.D. and is now an Assistant Professor; the other is currently working on her dissertation (having taken some time off for motherhood). 8 student editors in the M.A. program in linguistics at Eastern Michigan U.: 4 are now in Ph.D. programs in linguistics. 1 will enter a Ph.D. program in linguistics in Fall, 2000 2 hold positions in the computer industry. One is using his linguistics experience to build a knowledge base; the other is an Internet security consultant. 1 (the one who designed our website, stationery, and T-shirts) is now a graphics designer for a large newspaper 2 student programmers at Eastern Michigan U.: Both completed their Masters degrees in computer science and now hold jobs in software design. As you see, your donations have contributed not just to The LINGUIST List but also but to the future of linguistics. Most of the 12 LINGUIST editors you have supported have gone on to pursue careers in the discipline. Several others have drifted toward computer-related employment, and their LINGUIST List experiences have nurtured this interest as well as helped them to secure the jobs they wanted. Those of you who have contributed to LINGUIST over the past 6 years can feel proud that you have helped these students pursue their educational and career goals. Please help us support the outstanding students who are now providing you with the services you have come to expect from LINGUIST. If you have not yet donated to the Linguist Fund Drive, please do so now. There are three convenient methods by which you can make your donation to LINGUIST. And, if you contribute $30 or more, we'll send you a T-shirt or sweatshirt as a token of our appreciation. Please see our Fund Drive page for styles, sizes, donation categories, and photos: http://linguistlist.org/funddrive.html You can donate via our secure credit card form at: http://linguistlist.org/donation-form.html or by sending your check to: The LINGUIST Editorial Support Fund Dept. of English Eastern Michigan U. Ypsilanti, MI USA 48197 If you like, you can hit "Reply" and send us your pledge by email, prior to sending your check. Then we will be able to list you immediately as one of our donors. Please remember to include your snail-mail address, along with your size preference, if you would like to receive a LINGUIST shirt. As our fund drive approaches its conclusion, we want to once again thank you all for your continued support of LINGUIST.
