MSU students from Spanish and Latino Studies Department’s “Translation and Health Services” course and the MFEE (Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence) collaborated to raise awareness about COVID-19 vaccination among Hispanic population.<\/p>\n

Students Beatriz Gamarra (pictured here in purple jacket), and Dalia Vargas (not pictured but also from the same class) interpreted for the families at a recent Montclair event. Dr. Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Garc\u00eda Vizca\u00edno (professor, “Translation and Health Services” pictured here with Masiel Rodriquez-Vars, Executive Director, MFEE [in black t-shirt]) accompanied the students to the event. Also, informational materials (flyers and brochures) were translated into Spanish for this event.<\/p>\n

Dr. Garc\u00eda Vizca\u00edno, noted “It is great to see that what students are learning in the class can make a difference in the real world and thanks to their interpreting skills, Spanish-speaking families who were reluctant to get the vaccine, now they are getting their first shot!”<\/p>\n
