Lauren Breiter, a recent graduate of Montclair with a Masters in French, translated the \u201cClemenceau and Sports\u201d<\/a> exhibit at the Mus\u00e9e Clemenceau<\/a> in Paris, which is currently on show in time for the 2024 Olympics!<\/p>\n

Montclair\u2019s translation programs, for both the undergraduate and graduate levels, offer opportunities for all students to gain experience in-person and online. Breiter\u2019s work as a translator was part of an internship required for the capstone project of the French Professional Translation Concentration MA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Breiter gives thanks to Dr. Elizabeth Emery<\/a>, World Languages and Cultures<\/a> department professor, for helping her discover the opportunity to work for Mus\u00e9e Clemenceau. The museum is actually the preserved house of former French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that Dr. Emery should be getting all of the credit in this area,\u201d Breiter says. \u201cDue to my full time work schedule, it seemed that maybe my options would be limited in finding a translation internship, but she really helped me out. Dr. Emery has connections with the Mus\u00e9e Clemenceau and was able to secure this opportunity for me, and I\u2019m very grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Breiter\u2019s assignments included translating the displays\u2019 information panels, which she would do before presenting her translations to Dr. Emery for review, and submitting to Lise Lentignac, an administrator at Mus\u00e9e Clemenceau.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe really was such a great help in fine-tuning my translations,\u201d says Breiter on Dr. Emery\u2019s guidance.<\/p>\n

The appreciation remains mutual: \u201cI loved working with Lauren!\u201d says Emery. \u201cShe was always quick to respond, full of good ideas and eager to collaborate, all while holding down a full-time job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to beginning the assignments, Breiter familiarized herself with the content of the exhibit by utilizing resources and reading several books recommended to her about Georges Clemenceau.<\/p>\n

The experience of working beyond the University was one Breiter feels prepared her for a career post-graduation: \u201cI think I really learned how much work goes into creating a professional translation. Throughout my experience in my graduate program at Montclair, I was able to practice translating many documents, but this one felt the most \u2018high stakes.\u2019 I\u2019m really lucky to have been a part of the process.\u201d
\n

Likewise, seeing her own student\u2019s work displayed in Paris was exciting for Dr. Emery when she was able to visit in-person: \u201cI was so proud of Lauren when I saw her name featured at the entrance to the exhibition. It was a real testament to how much the museum appreciated Lauren and her work that they added such public recognition.\u201d\n

Now graduated, Lauren Breiter plans on continuing to translate professionally wherever she can after a \u201cvery rewarding\u201d time with Mus\u00e9e Clemenceau.<\/p><\/div>
