Throughout the next few weeks, we will be sharing with you our 'Making the
Most of LINGUIST' letter series. This series of messages will identify the
main types of resources on LINGUIST, and will explain how they can best be
utilized to meet your needs.

The series will mirror the typical development of a professional linguist,
beginning with resources for students, then for conducting research, followed
by help with professional development, institutions, conference organizers,
and employers, then finishing up with special interests.

For those of you who are new to the mesmerizing field of linguistics--or have
a passing interest in language--LINGUIST has an area specifically for you:

Ask-a-Linguist: Ask-a-Linguistic contains answers to frequently asked
linguistic questions. This area of LINGUIST covers a lot of great, general
linguistic information.

If you're thinking about making linguistics your life's work, LINGUIST has
several resources for students trying to make the most of their degree:

Student Portal: An essential for students looking to develop an academic
career in linguistics. Great starting point.

Supports: Announcements of fellowships and resources for degree programs are
contained here.

scholarship opportunities, grants, and new degree programs.

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!
