[Cameron Davidson]

Dear Colleagues,

It is my privilege to announce that the MSA Distinguished Lecturers for 
2007-2008 are Lukas P. Baumgartner, Daniele J. Cherniak, and Steven D. 
Jacobsen.  Their affiliations and lecture titles are listed below, or 
you can follow this link:

I invite you to request a visit of an MSA lecturer to your institution 
during the next academic year by following the instructions below. 
Please encourage colleagues at primarily undergraduate institutions and 
institutions outside North America to apply.  Tours will be arranged in 
North America and Europe (broadly defined), and I will accommodate as 
many of the requests as possible.

If your institution is interested in requesting a visit, please send 
your request to Cameron Davidson (cdavidso at carleton.edu).

The Lecture Program is designed to run from September 2007 through May 
2008. Lecturer requests received by May 12, 2007, will be given 
priority.  Late applications will be considered on a space-available 
basis.  In making your request please include:

1.  Airport proximity and travel time to your institution.

2.  The name of a contact person at your institution for the months of 
May and June.  This is when schedules will be assembled.

3.  Contact e-mail addresses and phone numbers.

4.  Lecturer preference, and flexibility.

5.  Preferred semester and/or month for the visit, including flexibility.

Please note that because of travel and schedule constraints it is 
normally not possible to satisfy requests for tightly constrained dates 
such as seminar days.

Best regards,

Cameron Davidson
MSA Distinguished Lecture Program Administrator
