 *********

 We are pleased to announce that the first North American Summer School in 
 Logic, Language, and Information (NASSLLI) will take place at Stanford 
 University from the 24th to the 30th of June. It will be followed by the 
 eleventh Logic, Language, and Computation Colloquium (LLC) at CSLI, the 
 program of which will be integrated with the school.

 The thematic focus of NASSLLI is modeled on that of its European sister 
 event, ESSLLI. As it is customary with schools of this nature, the classes 
 will run from foundational and introductory to advanced. Each lecturer will 
 give a set of five one hour lectures on a topic suitable for a broad 
 audience interested in the interface of logic, language, and computation.

 NASSLLI is ideal for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in 
 linguistics, computer science, philosophy, mathematics and psychology, as 
 well as postdoctoral students, IT professionals, and faculty seeking to 
 extend their knowledge of the field.

 We wish to extend you an invitation to join us here at Stanford between 
 June 24 and June 30, 2002, in order to experience cutting edge research 
 carried out by some of the finest teachers in North America and Europe.
