🎉 Andrew James, NIC!

The Class of 2024 brings in another RID National Certification! Andrew didn’t enter LU with the intention of becoming an interpreter, but the Lord had other plans for him, and we thank God for that!

Please keep Andrew in your prayers as the Lord directs his steps, and pray for his family as they continue sharing the Gospel with the Deaf community worldwide!

Celebrate with us this evening!

‼️LOCATION HAS CHANGED!!!‼️ Please meet us over in Demoss room 1164!! Still same time!

Saturday plans? No? Good!

Come to the LU Auto Show, open to all, at River Ridge Mall! Check out some of the newest, shiniest, fanciest vehicles on the market. LU business students are excited to show off these great rides, and our interpreting seniors will be placed all throughout the event space, ready to work! 🏎️🚙🛻

Our budding interpreters are afforded the opportunity to interpret in some real-life settings during their practicum semester. In doing this, they gain practical experience, the settings in which they work learn more about including the Deaf community, and the Deaf community continues to shape and mold the next generation of interpreters. We could not do this without our community partners. Thank you to all involved!

Experiential learning starts here! See you tomorrow!

“Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.” -Psalm 129:16

Students, we, as your faculty, are honored that God would write all of you and each of us into the same page of His book. His story spans all of time, and yet we get to exist with you here in this moment of Fall 2025. We are eager to see what the Lord has written into these next few pages. Judging from Week 1, it’s going to be good!

Praying for you and with you,

Your Instructors

📰 Breaking News: Katherine began this summer as Katherine Doan and will finish it as Katherine Robatin, NIC!

We’ve been blessed at Liberty University to see Kat move from program work assistant to interpreting intern to staff interpreter. She achieves her goals on fast-forward. If you blink, you’ll miss her!

Marina Iodice, NIC! 🎉

Marina graduated with the Class of 2021. Being in one of the “COVID Classes” brought challenge after challenge, but Marina moved to DC, pushed through a wrist injury during internship, and she’s now approved by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf. Congratulations, Marina!
