Mentors are expected to meet one-on-one with their mentee for a minimum of 30 hours per semester (approximately two hours per week). These weekly Supervision meetings are essential for guiding student growth and professional development.
During supervision, mentors and students may discuss topics such as:
Progress toward skill development and practicum goals
Interpretation effectiveness, including message equivalence, affect, sign production, semantics, meaning transfer, vocabulary selection, ethical considerations, and technique
Feedback and critique of live or recorded interpreting work
Ethical decision-making in various interpreting contexts
Networking and professional community involvement
Career development and preparation for entry-level work
Professionalism and workplace expectations
