<body><BR>Thank you, Ky-Phong, for expressing my concerns as well.&nbsp; I have written to three faculty members inquiring on the matter of TA-ships for next year; however, two do not&nbsp;seem to have the information, and one of the faculty members has not responded to my email as of this moment.<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
I also need to make decisions/plans&nbsp;(such as&nbsp;if I will be able to continue in the program if no work/funding is available).&nbsp; Personally, I would prefer a TA-ship because&nbsp;I need, and want,&nbsp;additional&nbsp;teaching experience.<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
I am sure (and here I am taking the liberty of speaking for the&nbsp;group) that we would all like to know what is our&nbsp;status for the next academic year as soon as possible.<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
All the best,<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
Alba<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
BTW, I hope that everyone is having a productive summer (creatively speaking).<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
