MIIS Graduates at the Paris Climate Summit
The French translation of Bill Gates’ paper on his Initiative on Energy Innovation, which was presented Monday in Paris by Gates and President Obama, was translated into French by our graduates Pascale Ledeur-Kraus and Julien Brasseur. Bill Weber did the editing and proofreading. Then, Bill Gates’ office turned to our other graduate, Maureen Sweeney, a principal at Tiller Language Services in Seattle, to have the French translation done.
You might say, that MIIS, once again, shared the world stage.
