Interpreting at the London Olympics
Unbelievable, amazing, and great are just a few of the adjectives that Lauren Ames (MATI '13), used to describe her experience working as an interpreter at the 2012 London Olympics.
“To interpret at a world-class event like the Olympics is an enormous opportunity and a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Ames.
Ames was one of five students representing the Monterey Institute as volunteer interpreters at the 2012 London Summer Olympics.
“It was amazing to feel like I was being relied upon to facilitate communication,” she said.

Undergrad: National Taipei University Major: Foreign Languages and Applied Linguistics Hometown: Taipei, Taiwan What is your favorite place in Monterey?My favorite place in Monterey is the coastline from Fisherman’s Wharf to Lover’s Point. I like going for walks or bike rides along that path. It’s beautiful!! Pioneering Author & Advocate Myra Goodman of Earthbound Farm to Speak at CommencementMyra Goodman, co-founder with her husband Drew of Carmel Valley’s Earthbound Farm, one of the world’s leading organic growers, will be the featured speaker at the Monterey Institute’s spring 2012 commencement ceremony. The ceremony—scheduled for Saturday, May 19 on the front lawn of historic Colton Hall in downtown Monterey—will begin at 1:00 p.m. with the traditional processional, featuring flag-bearers marching down Pacific Street carrying the flags of each of the 33 countries represented in the graduating class of 309 students. Professor Peter Shaw Wins Leslie Eliason Excellence in Teaching AwardThe recipient of the seventh annual Leslie Eliason Excellence in Teaching Award is Professor Peter Shaw, a longtime faculty member in the Institute’s Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages program. In the May 10 announcement, Provost Amy Sands noted Professor Shaw’s record of excellence in teaching and his ongoing, inspiring commitment to providing Monterey Institute students the highest quality education possible. Record Number of MIIS Students Awarded Prestigious Fulbright ScholarshipsSix students from the Monterey Institute will receive U.S. Fulbright scholarship awards for the 2012-2013 academic year, the most in the Institute’s 57-year history. This surpasses last year's record of five, which had MIIS students landing more U.S. Fulbrights on a per capita basis than every top-ten school in the 2012 U.S. News & World Report college rankings, with a higher applicant success rate than all but one of these leading schools. A seventh Fulbright applicant from the Monterey Institute is an alternate and may still be selected.
