Welcome to Majors & Minors at Cal Poly Humboldt!
This show takes a close look at the rich academic offerings of our campus and all of the areas of study that can be pursued as a student.

This episode features a conversation with Agustín Amaro and Erisan Villafana Torres of the Center for Translation and Interpretation.
From the Center’s website, ”The Center for Translation and Interpretation evolved from the need to support the growing number of Hispanic/Latino/a/x/e students of Cal Poly Humboldt, which is a Hispanic Serving Institution. Today, the Center has become a hub of translation and interpretation services for the campus community. The Center is also committed to experiential learning, offering Spanish majors opportunities to provide critical interpretation and translation support for Latinx parents and families of K–12 students in Humboldt County. This not only reinforces language skills for Cal Poly Humboldt students, but also helps remove language barriers in the local community.”
It was really interesting to speak with both Agustín and Erisan about their work and their personal experiences with language and translation. So here is our conversation about the Center for Translation and Interpretation
The Center for Translation and Interpretation is housed inside the Department of Applied Humanities from the College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences.
