Welcome to the UNC-DO IT Center
Welcome! I’m delighted you stopped by the UNC-DO IT Center. The Distance Opportunities for Interpreter Training Center recognizes the right of Deaf and hard of hearing individuals to equal communication access and, therefore, our mission is to deliver quality instruction that prepares qualified interpreters. The need for highly qualified interpreters is well documented – from the classroom to the courtroom, from the doctor’s office to the Social Security office, from a Video Relay Service Center to a Workforce Center – an interpreter might be needed anywhere for a Deaf or hard of hearing person to fully engaged in the different venues of society.
