Dear Subscribers,
Mfon Udoinyang is my name and I am an international student from Nigeria currently in my first year in the linguistics program at Eastern Michigan University. My coming to study at Eastern was made possible by the award of a position as a LINGUIST List editor, facilitated by your kind and generous donations. Please donate today to help students like me:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm
My tasks at The LINGUIST List includes approving the submissions of people who have created their personal profiles in The LINGUIST List database, resetting passwords for users, and approving submissions of university programs listed in our directory. I also respond to daily email inquiries about how to create and update profiles for individuals and programs. This has been a satisfying job experience for me as I get to meet and interact online with prominent scholars whose books I have read or heard about as a linguistics student.
I'm also a team member of the LL-Map, which is a project designed to integrate language information with data from the physical and social sciences by means of a Geographical Information System (GIS). I sometimes find the high-tech aspects of my work a bit challenging, but the very supportive crew is helping me to find my feet quickly enough. Being at The LINGUIST List has enabled me to learn new and exciting things about linguistics that I would never have learned if I had studied linguistics up to the PhD level in my home country. The expertise, exposure, professional contacts and experiences will have incalculable benefits to me and ultimately my students in my future career as a linguist. Yet, all of this would not be possible without your kind and generous support to The LINGUIST List!
Please donate now: https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm
Thank you for your generosity!
Mfon Udoinyang
Linguist List Editor
This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $65,000. This money will go to help

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
