Welcome
We are proud to announce that the American Sign Language Program at Northeastern University has been awarded a new five-year grant to continue to serve as the National Interpreter Education Center from October 1, 2010 to September 30, 2015.
We look forward to our continuing collaboration with the five federally funded Regional Interpreter Education Centers and with our local, regional, and national partners to increase the size, diversity, and capabilities of the interpreter workforce.
As our new website takes shape over the coming months, you will see a growing number of resources for interpreting educators, interpreters, and aspiring practitioners. Please come back often!-
