Under general supervision, Interpreter I provides sign language interpreting services to facilitate communication for Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing students primarily in classroom and instructional settings, including assignments that may involve technical or specialized vocabulary.

These assignments include advanced academic courses, discussions, conferences, workshops, and large-group or platform settings involving multiple participants.
