My experience in the language department at Adelphi was nothing short of amazing. All the professors are kind, and they actually care. They empowered me with knowledge, whether it was inside the classroom or outside in the real world. They truly inspired me to be the best that I can be. If it wasn鈥檛 for this program and its professors, I would not have decided to pursue my career in translation. I am currently publishing my third translated book.
