I'll start my new job as an interim dean on June 4th.
So that's all the news that's been in the works lately. ...

... in interpreter training and education in various ways, including the noncredit offerings that the college will offer.
The other big change coming out of all of this is that I have resigned my position as a per diem interpreter at Children's Minnesota, where I have been for thirteen years. ...

... an administrator, overseeing several departments and taking an active role in college leadership.
After 14 years teaching in and later leading my program, it will be a big change. While I'm sad about the program being closed, I am excited about the new opportunity and will still be involved ...
