Colleagues!

There's still time to apply for the 2010 Baltic Studies Summer Institute 
(BALSSI) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for summer 2010! The 
application deadline has been extended to May 12, 2010.

The Center for Russia, East Europe, and Central Asia (CREECA) and the 
Department of Scandinavian Studies at the University of 
Wisconsin-Madison will host the Baltic Studies Summer Institute (BALSSI) 
in the summer of 2010 (June 14-August 6, 2010). Courses in elementary- 
and intermediate-level Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian languages will 
be offered, as well as lectures (in English) on Baltic history and 
culture and a rich program of cultural events related to the Baltic 
countries. Information and application materials are available on the 
BALSSI Web site: www.creeca.wisc.edu/balssi. (Deadline to apply is May 
12, 2010.)

Language courses:
first- and second-year
Estonian
Latvian
Lithuanian
**We have received a generous grant from the American Council of Learned 
Societies (ACLS) to fund the teaching of first-year Estonian and 
second-year Latvian at BALSSI for 2010. The program fee (tuition) for 
first-year Estonian and second-year Latvian will be waived for graduate 
students specializing in East European studies in any discipline. 
(Students will still be responsible for paying UW-Madison segregated 
fees in the amount of $255.50).

BALSSI is sponsored by a consortium of twelve US universities and 
receives additional support from the Association for the Advancement of 
Baltic Studies. For further information about BALSSI 2010, please 
contact Nancy Heingartner, BALSSI program coordinator, 
balssi at creeca.wisc.edu, 1-608-262-3379.

With best wishes to all,
Jennifer
