Winners of ACTR's 2005 Russian Essay Contest

[Patricia L. Zody]

Dear Colleagues,

Please find below the results of the Sixth Annual ACTR National 
Post-Secondary Russian Essay Contest.  We had an outstanding contest last 
year with 506 essays submitted from 52 universities and colleges.  Each 
essay was ranked by three judges in Russia, and often the results were 
simply too close to call.

If you are interested in having your students participate this year in the 
contest, I will be sending a separate announcement to the SEELANGS 
listserv. Please feel free to contact me at zodyp at beloit.edu if you have 
specific questions about the contest.

Sincerely,

Patricia Zody, Chairperson
