WMUA’s Tan Cerca Tan Lejos, a weekly bilingual radio program of interviews, seeks two undergraduate interns. The interns will help us by transcribing audio interviews in Spanish and English and translating in both directions. At least one of the interns should also be able to help us manage the show’s Web page and social media. While these are the main responsibilities, the show is absolutely open to train and allow the interns to participate in all aspects of radio creation, including: (1) preproduction (reaching out to possible guests, doing research about guests, and writing drafts for the interviews); (2) production (leading interviews and managing the board); and (3) postproduction (editing interviews). Interns are expected to work approximately 10 hours/week and can receive 3 credits. Continue reading →

This past summer one of our graduates did a translation/interpreting internship with New York County’s District Attorney’s Office. She tells me it was a great experience and she urges other students to consider applying. You can see information about the internship here. She has also sent me the following contact information:
