Douglas College Student Interpreters
Hello,
Do you have an event coming up in the next few months that requires interpreting services? For events that don’t pay for professional interpreters, Douglas College student interpreters might be available and happy to come and provide interpreting service.
To make a request, just e-mail intr@douglascollege.ca and let us know the date, time, type of event, etc. A student in the program will soon contact you to let you know if they are available.
Thank you for your on-going support of Douglas students as they work at becoming the best interpreters they can be.

VRS Fraud
John T.C. Yeh, owner of Rockville deaf services company Viable, and his brother, former Viable executive Joseph Yeh, pleaded guilty Thursday in a federal court in Trenton, N.J., to conspiracy to commit mail fraud.
Authorities said the Yehs conspired to defraud the Federal Communications Commission’s Video Relay Service program, which helps deaf people communicate, by paying others to make fraudulent calls. They submitted some $55 million in claims to the FCC, according to a news release from prosecutors.
