Dear MU students, faculty, & staff:
Welcome back to Mizzou for the Fall 2017
semester! Here's to a semester full of
invaluable academic, networking, and
professional opportunities.
Some helpful advice to make this semester
count, particularly for students: Reach out! The more faculty and staff you know at
Mizzou, the better information and resources
you'll be connected to.
Should you need any help or resources, the
Cambio Center is at your service.
- Lindsey Saunders, Cambio Center Coordinator

Want to work for
the Cambio Center?
The MU Cambio Center is looking for
bilingual MU students who speak, read,
and write Spanish very well to assist its
Language Services Program. Our work includes the
translation of texts between English and
Spanish, as well as transcription of recorded
Spanish audio. We have flexible hours and
sporadic work, and will provide ongoing training
in translation techniques. Translating is a
great skill that bilingual people can develop
with training and practice.
If you are interested, please write to cambio@missouri.edu. We are looking to hire quickly to
start work in early September.
We also welcome work study students to join
our team!

Language Services Program
Language Services Program - The Cambio Center LSP provides
high-quality, detail-oriented translation
services (written word), interpretation
services (spoken word), and transcription
services (writing down the recorded spoken
word). Our experienced staff are bilingual in
English and Spanish, and only translate into
their native language, a requirement for
strong, natural-sounding translations. All
translations are reviewed for accuracy and
flow. Learn more and see current fee schedules.

The article "He Could Be Undocumented: Striving to
Be Sensitive to Student Documentation
Status in a Rural Community," co-written by fellow Dr. Emily R. Crawford, was published in the Journal of
Cases in Educational Leadership.
The article follows a school principle
who seeks information about a student's
family (after the student's mother
removes him from school in the wake of
local immigration enforcement rumors)
but is hesitant to draw attention to the
family's potential lack of legal
status.

Hairston, S. L. (2017). He Could Be
Undocumented: Striving to Be Sensitive
to Student Documentation Status in a
Rural Community. Journal of Cases in Educational
Leadership, 1555458917718008.
