Thu Mar 15 2012 Stanford Captures the Lead in the Graduate Tournament! Editor for this issue: Anna Belew <annalinguistlist.org>
Date: 15-Mar-2012 From: LINGUIST List <linguistlinguistlist.org> Subject: A Week of Surprise Upsets in the Grad School Leaderboards! E-mail this message to a friend Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers, Every time we check the Graduate Tournament, it seems the leaderboards have been rearranged: http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2012/graduate-tournament.cfm For a while, the University of Washington seemed to have grown comfortable at the top; now, Stanford has overtaken them with a $200 margin. Will Washington surge forward again to overtake Stanford? The University of South Carolina is still leading the US East region, with University of Wisconsin-Madison hot on their heels, and Wayne State University climbing fast. Will the USC Gamecocks be knocked off their perch? In Europe, the University of Edinburgh shot to the head of the region early in the week; today they've been overtaken by the University of Cambridge, ahead by only $4! Will Edinburgh reclaim the lead? Will Universitat Pompeu Fabra or Universit't Leipzig jump ahead? We can't wait to see what happens! Donate today to fight for your school's victory-- and remember, your donations can count towards both the Graduate Tournament and the Battle of the Fields! https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm The LINGUIST List Crew This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000.

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.
