Dear Subscribers, 

My name is Susan Smith, and I'm finishing up my M.A. in 
Linguistics at Wayne State University.  After two and a 
half years as a student employee here at The LINGUIST List, 
I was recently hired full-time as a project coordinator.  
My career here may illustrate the diversity of tasks a 
typical student undertakes at LINGUIST.  I started out 
working on the MultiTree project, gathering books and 
entering language trees into spreadsheets, and editing 
Ask-A-Linguist.  Since then, I've become the Listserv 
Administrator, designed logos and Flash videos for Fund 
Drive and learned some programming while working on the 
website.  I've also learned a lot about organization 
and teamwork as the team leader for several of our research 
projects, and had the opportunity to meet and correspond 
with many linguists.  I'm currently working on the new LEGO 
grant and helping to design a community website for the GOLD 
Ontology, as well as working on MultiTree and taking care of 
the Listserv, and I'm learning more than ever.

This opportunity not only put me through grad school, it 
has given me confidence in myself and my future.  It's not 
easy working at The LINGUIST List. There are always deadlines, 
people telling you to do things you have no idea how to do, 
and to do them now!  Along with the challenges, though, there 
is a crew of intelligent, diverse and helpful people who are 
always happy to help and encourage you.  Anthony and Helen 
know how to get us to produce prodigious amounts of work, 
and they also know how to nurture and tease out abilities 
we didn't know we had.

If you think about everything LINGUIST does, the mailing list 
and website, the database of linguistic information, the grant 
projects and tools we develop, and then realize that all of 
this is being done by students, you might be amazed.  I am.  
Everyone here is dedicated to producing information and 
infrastructure to help linguists everywhere, and we hope that 
it is indeed helpful to you.  We also think it's very important 
to provide these services for free, however, our landlords and 
local grocers don't share that sentiment.

Please consider giving whatever you can to ensure that we can 
continue to work on your behalf - although the times are tough, 
even a small donation will help.  (To be clear, a large donation 
will also help, if you are so inclined!)

Yours sincerely,
Susan Smith

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!
