Dear Colleagues,
Forgive this duplicate posting in just a few hours, but it's been brought
to my attention that the earlier posting gave everything save the identity
of the hotel. My apologies! Corrected information is below.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to AATSEEL 2001. New Orleans is a brand
new venue for us, and we look forward to seeing you there. Thanks to Karen
Evans-Romaine and her hard-working Program Committee, this conference-at
which we are pleased, as always, to host ACTR events-promises to be a
splendid event. As always, AATSEEL attendance offers you a superb
opportunity to meet and network with scholars working in your area as well
as with other specialists in Slavic languages, literatures, linguistics,
culture and pedagogy. In the Exhibit Hall you'll be able to see the newest
and best from publishers, intensive language programs, media companies,
travel firms and more. Just as importantly, by attending this annual
meeting you'll be renewing your commitment to the health and growth of our
profession. Remember, without your support and active participation,
AATSEEL would cease to exist. Consider the information in this brochure
and make the decision to join us in New Orleans.
Sarah Pratt,
President, AATSEEL
