My name is Luiza Newlin-Lukowicz and I am one of the two Polish
student editors working at the LINGUIST List. I am also a first-year
graduate student in linguistics at Eastern Michigan University.
For the past six months I have posted dissertations and academic
papers and have been on a number of teams, including LL-MAP and
the Wikipedia Update Project.
My love for linguistics first enkindled at Adam Mickiewicz University
in Poznan, Poland, where I pursued a Bachelor's and a Master's degree
at the School of English, as well as a Bachelor's degree at the
School of French. The variety of American and French dialects intrigued
me so much that I explored them in all of my three theses. Inevitably
perhaps, I was soon drawn to sociolinguistics and started playing
with diverse ways of eliciting and recording data. Lured by the idea
of gaining hands-on sociolinguistic experience, I decided to take
advantage of the opportunity that presented itself before me and accept
a Graduate Assistantship from Eastern Michigan University. My excitement
grew even more when I found out I would work for the LINGUIST List, an
organization I had long admired for their outstanding work. Now I know
that what I failed to appreciate back then, though, was the amount
of hard work these thirty-some people put in every day. So, eager
for the challenges ahead of me, I embarked on what was for me an
adventure.
Even though I had been to the U.S. a number of times prior, I had
limited my forays to the East Coast and was a little spoiled by its
climate and its wide array of entertainment options. What was
awaiting me in Michigan, however, were harsh weather conditions,
horrible roads and a largely industrial landscape.
The moment the mighty city of Ypsilanti emerged before me, in the
dim light of its sparse street lamps, was probably one of the major
turning-points in my life. Suffering from the small town complex after
growing up in a city of some 15,000 residents, I had spent the last
5 years of my life circumventing small, dull towns, and Ypsilanti
just seemed like one of them. Luckily, my initial frustration with
Ypsi dissipated within the first 48 hours or so as I got to know the
LINGUIST List crew and my fellow students, all of whom turned out
to be extremely helpful and welcoming. Everyone here seemed to be
very intent on making me appreciate Ypsi for the people rather than
for what the city has (or doesn't have) to offer.
I started working at the LINGUIST List in September. It took me
several weeks to get the hang of all my responsibilities, to know
all the policies and guidelines for posting, to try to understand
what Cold Fusion is and to remember who is in charge of what.
Admittedly, I have to say all that was well worth it as the
satisfaction you get from contributing to our fascinating projects
is quite rewarding. The very first thing I noticed about the LL
crew was how dedicated everyone was to their work. It's not
surprising when you think of it, since everyone is so grateful for
the opportunity the LL creates for them. Indeed, if not for the LL
funding we receive, many of us student editors would not be able
to pursue a graduate degree. Granted, the LL has a corporate structure
like any other organization, but it differs from a regular office job
in that here success is gaged in your contribution to the field of
linguistics, and not in revenue.
Yet, once every year, materialistic reality knocks on our door and
refuses to leave until Fund Drive is over. Therefore, in order for
this huge enterprise to go on, we need your financial assistance.
Remember, not only do your donations help keep our daily business
running, but they also constitute a springboard to our careers.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go to help keep
the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.
See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive
2008 LINGUIST List Circus and join us on our many shows!
http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2008/
There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!
You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm
Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm
For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

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!
