September 30th marks the 7th annual International Translation Day, a global celebration highlighting the vital role translation plays in connecting cultures and fostering understanding. For translators working in educational settings, this day underscores the crucial impact their work has in ensuring equitable access to education for all students and their families.

Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated from September 15th to October 15th, is a time to honor the rich history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic Americans. This month also presents a unique opportunity to reflect on the pivotal role of interpretation and translation in the U.S. education system, particularly for the increasing Hispanic* student population.
