Dear Stacey,

Thanks for the announcement about IALLT 2019. The University of Oregon in (Eugene, OR) is planning to submit a proposal. Departmental sponsors would be the Yamada Language Center and the Center for Applied Second Languages. 

Can I ask how many institutions typically apply to host IALLT (it was the first question my dean asked me).

Thanks,
Jeff
