Student testimonial: Abdulmajeed Alajaji
Earning a Master's degree in Translation and Interpreting from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign equipped me with the most essential skills to excel at my work as an instructor at the Saudi Electronic University, where I apply the knowledge and skills gained while studying at UIUC to help my students and improve their experience. The invaluable lessons and great moments of learning and growing during my time in Urbana- Champaign will always remain with me and affect how I learn and teach."
