Attention Teachers and Students!
As our world becomes more integrated globally, businesses and governments are realizing the importance of using skilled professional translators and interpreters to communicate their message effectively and successfully to global audiences, avoiding potentially costly and embarrassing mistakes.

The School Outreach Program encourages professional translators and interpreters to visit classrooms—in person or virtually—to share their passion for language.
