Day at Cal State Fullerton

        Earlier this month, one the interpreters I have shadowed for my mentorship, Edna, was invited to be on a panel of interpreters at the new student orientation of Cal State Fullerton's interpreting program. I got to participate in the orientation and get a feel for what the program is like as well as learn from the other interpreters who were there. I enjoyed learning about the program, which has two tracks: healthcare or court interpreting. At the end of the program, students will be prepared to take the exam for court certification or healthcare interpreting. All the instructors are working professionals and classes focus on practice. Based on what I heard at the orientation I went to, I think this program is something I might consider doing in the future.
