Doing something new at UWM this fall! We have undergraduate and graduate multilingual translation workshops focusing on texts from Arabic, French, Hmong, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swahili into English.

You can join us whether you have an undergraduate degree or not, and it could count for one of our existing program options if you want. If you’re interested, email me ([email protected])!

I’m spotlighting Peter Argondizzo, Kimberly Miller, and Amy Murphy at Argo Translation (argotrans.com) – the work they donated with their team made these workshops possible and has left me, teacher of wordsmithery, at a loss in adequately articulating my thanks. What an honor to collaborate with such a holistic language-services company! Thank you. ~Lorena
