----------------------
The COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed working conditions for sign language interpreters. This mixed-methods research investigated the mental and physical health and job satisfaction of interpreters, their readiness to change, and barriers/facilitators to working remotely during the pandemic. Personal impressions and experience with the technical aspects of working remotely were also compared with onsite interpreting and across interpreting settings.

Attention ASLIE students!

Wewould like to share an exciting opportunity on behalf of the ASLIE Honors Program.

Join us on Wednesday, March 17th 6:30 to 8:00pm EST to meet virtually with several ASLIE alumni from over the years! Ask all of your questions about life after graduation and in the field of interpreting. What do they wish they had learned when they were in our shoes? What sort of work are they doing? What does self-care look like for them? What is their favorite way to prep? Any tips on the best Zoom setup? All this and more!

Submit your questions and RSVP here: https://forms.gle/5wfYFtUdtupoY7ND6

Please do so by 3/12 so we can pass questions on to alumni. This great opportunity will take place on a Wednesday night free of classes (I'm looking at you, seniors of Diverse Consumers) and full of fun.

Our alumni are thrilled to speak with us, and I hope we can have as many students as possible to attend. I encourage students of all years to take advantage of this opportunity to gain valuable advice from former ASLIE students.
Please reach out if you have any questions or suggestions regarding this event.
