Press Release:

Ms. Cole and students present information and translations in the class.
    BCCC Intermediate Spanish students received real-life experience in class recently when they were called on to interpret a presentation by Greenville immigration lawyer Janice M. Cole.

    Students in the class asked questions of Ms. Cole in Spanish which were translated into English by other students in the class. Ms. Cole then presented information in English about recent changes in immigration law for the class while students took turns translating her remarks back into Spanish.

    The event not only provided students with updated information about the law but simulated real-life translation activities, according to Instructor Jose Mendoza.

    The class is part of the curriculum for BCCC's Community Spanish Interpreter Program. Students in the program take classes that prepare them to serve as interpreters in a variety of settings including courtrooms and hospitals. They take six semesters of classes and at the end of their studies, can earn a certificate from BCCC.

    Beaufort County Community College is a public comprehensive community college committed to accessible and affordable quality education, effective teaching, relevant training, and lifelong learning opportunities for the people served by the College.
