This summer, the Preparing School Interpreters (PSI) Project, an OSEP grant housed in the Department of ASL & Interpreting Studies, brought together generations of UNC OSEP graduates from across the country, reconnecting, learning from one another, and investing in the future of school interpreting.

As the PSI grant comes to a close, we’re celebrating the people, relationships, and community built across nearly two decades of UNC’s OSEP-funded projects, and the impact that will continue long after the grant ends.

Read more about this special gathering and the legacy of UNC’s school interpreting work:

Congrats to ASLEI graduate Caroline LaPrade for passing the BEI Basic certification exam! UNC is so very proud of you!

Y’all help us celebrate Caroline LaPrade!!

She just PASSED her BEI- Basic exam!!! We are so excited and proud of her! She took advantage of our 1:1s, and she put in the WORK.

And Caroline isn’t the only one! We’ve had FIVE other people pass their Basic exams recently too. They’ve chosen to celebrate a little more quietly, so we’ll keep their names to ourselves, but we are cheering just as loudly for them behind the scenes! 🥳

CONGRATULATIONS , CAROLINE!!! 🩵🩵🩵

Go out there and continue being the good! 🥹
