The importance of meeting an international delegation can be exciting and intimidating. Serving as the delegation’s language translator adds an additional level of excitement and importance. Caroline Board, graduate student in French and Francophone Studies, was delighted to interpret for a delegation from Djibouti during their visit to the University of Kentucky in September.
Caroline became interested in studying language after taking French to satisfy her undergraduate language requirement.
“After I had taken a few French classes I decided I really liked the language and wanted to continue learning it,” she said.
Caroline studied in France for a summer semester and a fall semester during her undergraduate studies. Between her bachelor and master’s studies at UK she taught English in France for eight months.
