LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Lara Ravitch, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, USA

Dear PAIS Members,

I am pleased to bring you the latest PAIS Newsletter. I hope you find the articles in this newsletter as interesting and engaging as I did! Whether you are planning a new mission statement, responding to declining enrollments or other institutional threats, or just trying to improve your own personal practice, there is something to learn from the diverse group of language program administrators who have shared their thoughts in this issue.

If you like reading these articles, consider writing some for the February newsletter. It’s a great way to prepare for your TESOL presentation!

Best wishes,

Lara Ravitch

Editor, PAIS Newsletter
