DESCRIPTION:
These are exciting times for our profession. More than ever before, translation and interpretation are woven into every aspect of our lives. The increased demand for professional interpreters and translators reflects the trend toward globalization. The world is growing accustomed to relying on translators and interpreters to bridge the language gap in countless ways: a Security Council debate at the United Nations, Pacific Rim trade negotiations and treaties in multiple languages, a German technical manual, a multinational videoconference. As practitioners of the art and science of translation and interpretation, you will play a vital role in shaping the global society of the 21st century.
The faculty of the Graduate School of Translation and Interpretation (GSTI), experienced interpreters and translators, are committed to helping students in a supportive and stimulating academic environment to develop the analytical and technical skills, cultural literacy, conduct, competence, professional integrity and loyalty needed to become superior professional translators and interpreters. The Monterey Institute provides translators- and interpreters-in-training with unique opportunities for multidisciplinary, multilingual learning. We are dedicated to teaching and working closely with you so that you may achieve your professional goals and prepare to meet the challenges of the profession in the 21st century. Upon graduation, you will use your expertise to enable and enhance truly meaningful communication at the international, national and community levels.
I encourage you to contact us if you are interested in pursuing graduate studies. Please contact our faculty with any questions you might have about the nature of our programs. I also encourage you to visit the Monterey Institute.
I look forward to meeting you and discussing your professional interests and plans. We in the Graduate School of Translation and Interpretation welcome you as our future colleagues.
Sincerely,
Chuanyun Bao, Dean
