William Woods University and MCDHH are proud to announce that we are again offering the Summer Rural Educational Interpreter Skills Enhancement Training!  Thanks to DESE and MCDHH!  DESE has agreed to fund this opportunity again!  If you are selected, DESE will provide you with a scholarship to cover the training, and room and board.

This year we are THRILLED to announce that the training will be conducted entirely in ASL.  This will be an ASL Immersion experience where you will be in a position to GREATLY ENHANCE your communication in sign language.  Participants will live in an all signing environment.  We feel that you will enjoy this, learn a lot, and have a great deal of fun in the process.  We are modeling this after popular "ASL Camps" that you may have seen advertised in other states.  There will be a great deal of hands-on training, interaction with faculty, other participants, and the Deaf community. 

This is a two-week intensive. The dates are July 9-20.  (You may go home for the weekend of July 14-15 or stay here at WWU.)  Great food, great environment, great people, lots of fun and intense learning!!!

Apply now as space is very limited! Application is attached!

Deadline for applications is May 15, 2012!
