The Deaf Leadership and Advocacy graduate certificate seeks to empower and equip the next generation of Deaf leaders globally with new tools, knowledge and expertise for leading change and building capacity within their communities.
The one-year certificate is designed for Deaf students who are interested in developing leadership and teaching skills in educational and employment settings. A core value of the program is representation of Deaf students in the cohorts of learners. Sign language interpreters may also be considered for the program.
A program for academic learning and personal growth, the graduate certificate in Deaf Leadership and Advocacy offers:
“Invest in your future. The experience is up to how you design it.”
Online Deaf Chinese Immersion Summer Camp for US school and university students were led by the former Chinese interns Yukun Yuan and Zhiyuan Hou in American Sign Language.
Both were Changchun University students. The camp brought a brand-new learning experience remotely. Participants learned all about China’s rich culture, history, and received Chinese sign language lessons.
Our students enjoy a wealth of experience in and out of classroom that help them build a diverse background and tune up their sign language for their professional careers globally.
We encourage students to take advantage of opportunities for community engagement and Education Abroad.
Our student organizations provide social activities as well as the chance to make long-term professional development connections both on campus and off campus.
