Hi Bean,

These career-development topics were covered in the proseminar last AY,
but if you think there would again be sufficient student interest, I'm
sure that each of those three topics can be covered. I can do my
abstract-writing spiel, e.g. Dan and Barbara might also be willing to give
their presentation on bad presentations. As for journal submission
guidelines and the like, we could all participate, but I think it would be
a great idea to get Bill Bright involved in that one too. 

With regard to times, one suggestion that I received from some students
was to use the Friday lunch-hour slot (as we did for the proseminar) for
LingCircle presentations, and retain the Weds afternoon slot for visiting
and faculty talks. What do you think of that? The proseminar was well
attended when we used the Friday lunchtime slot. 

Thanks for your good work,

Laura
