enrollments query

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

We're experiencing increased enrollment in first-year Russian (for
fall '02) at UW-Madison. I'm wondering if this is a local phenomenon
or something that is generalizable to the field (perhaps a
consequence of increased attention to foreign languages after the
events of last fall).  Can any SEELANGers at North American
institutions with enrollment going on now for fall '02 can report a
similar phenomenon?

Please let me know if students at your institution, registering for
fall courses, are signing up for Russian in bigger numbers than they
did in the last few years.

Thank you.

- Ben
