Initiative Title	Purchase Language Translator Devices
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	Purchase two language translator devices; one for each campus. We are frequently interacting with and assisting students and or parents that are not native English speakers. It is not practical to depend upon the few staff members who speak Spanish to always be available to act as interpreters. Additionally, Spanish is not exclusively the language that is needed. Therefore, we would like to have the use of a hand held translator device to utilize to assist those who are unable to communicate in English.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	Without these devices, we are providing inadequate services to our community. We also risk losing potential students for both credit and non credit programs, especially at a time that enrollment is so critical. SUNY Orange has been recognized by the US Dept of Ed as a Spanish Serving Institution & awarded us the Title V Grant PROSPERAR. Therefore, it is incumbent upons us to do what is needed to serve Spanish speaking individuals and other non English speakers.
Department Goals	Improve our communication of information with current and prospective students., Utilized technology to optimize our delivery of services to students.
