Dear Subscribers,

The Grad School Challenge is in full effect already!
Arizona State University had the lead for a few days
until the University of Edinburgh took over today!
We can see that there will be great rivalry between
schools once more. Is your school claiming to be the
one that can lead the challenge? Are you ready to
get your classmates and professors to work together
as one while helping the LINGUIST List Fund Drive?

See the current standings at:
http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2010/gradschools/top-institutions-by-region.cfm

What can you do? Have as many people in your school
donate this Fund Drive
(https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm)
and select your school while doing so. All those
donations will count towards the challenge!

As last year, we divided all schools into regions. The
top school in each region will receive a prize at the
end of Fund Drive. You can see the prize list at:
http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2010/gradschools/prizes.cfm

Can University of Kansas or the University of Maryland
take the lead? Will Arizona State University go back
to the top? Maybe the University of Southern California
will take a big jump and claim the top!

Help your school succeed in this challenge by helping
LINGUIST this Fund Drive:

https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to

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!
