I'm writing to let you know that I have decided to retire in June 
2007 from my position as Director of Language Study and Director of 
the Center for Language Study at Yale University.  A formal 
announcement of the search for a successor, with full job 
description, will follow early in January.

The Center for Language Study (CLS) complements the teaching of 50 
languages by about 100 teachers, who have their appointments in nine 
departments and four area studies councils, and it works with all 
these units and many others, including Summer Session, International 
Education and Fellowship Programs, and the MacMillan Center for 
International and Area Studies.  The Center is fully integrated into 
the academic life of Yale, and we enjoy the full support of the 
administration at all levels to extend and strengthen language 
learning opportunities for Yale College, the Graduate School and ten 
professional schools.  The CLS has an extraordinarily talented 
professional staff of 15 (some of them grant-funded) who provide 
professional development support for language faculty and 
technological resources for all language teaching and learning at 
Yale.  Holding this position has given me more pleasure and 
satisfaction than any other of my career -- but I'm looking forward 
to traveling and spending time with my first grandchild!

        With warmest regards to all of you --
                Nina
