This
year's Deaf Social Day brought participants from as far away as Missouri
and the St. Louis area. Feature events were the Dinner skits, that
showed what it was like to be a part of a family where they don't communicate
with you, the deaf panel, Classroom Capers, skits about humorous things
that happen in an interpreted classroom, and our own Top Ten with Paul
Menkis as the card throwing David Letterman. We also had games in
the afternoon. This year we sent out an e-flyer
rather than a printed flyer. Our attendance was better this year
than it has been with traditional advertising. |

on the link to see a video clip. This year's second year class has
been involved interpreting for several events at the college. The
first event, Expressions
Readings, is an annual reading of contributions to the Expressions
Magazine. All of the second year students participated. Students
also have interpreted for the High
School Writing Competition, the College
Writing Competition, and the
Mary
Logan Scholarship Awards presentation. Students have also been
paired with working interpreters in our Mentorship Program. In some
cases the students take a turn interpreting as a team with the working
interpreter. This happens at the discretion of the interpreter and
is based on the setting and the readiness of the student. |

Online
Course Offerings to Expand
The Interpreting Program
currently offers two fully online courses: Educational
Interpreting and Interpreting in the Religious Setting. Both
courses have been offered and students participated from coast to coast.
Both courses will be offered again this coming summer semester.
We are working on developing
more online offerings so that working interpreters can earn a certificate
of professional development by taking the series of online courses. |
