TitleForeign Language Teaching Assistants Displaced by Hurricane Katrina
Body
Dear Colleagues,

We have FLTAs (Foreign Language Teaching Assistants) in New Orleans. As you have probably heard, there have been devastating consequences from Hurricane Katrina. According to reports, the city will now be uninhabitable for weeks or months. As you can imagine, the FLTAs we have placed at schools in the area are upset, confused and anxious about the year ahead. If your department has the capability to host an additional FLTA or if you know of colleagues at other schools who may be interested in hosting a teaching assistant at this late date, please let me know. We are looking for alternate emergency placements for FLTAs from the following countries/languages:

Two Fulbright FLTAs from France - French
Two Fulbright FLTAs from Mexico - Spanish
One Fulbright FLTA from Austria - German
One non-Fulbright FLTA from France - French
