Gallaudet University

The President of Gallaudet University was provided with Publication 3966, Living and Working with Disabilities, for distribution at their monthly meeting. A meeting is planned to form a partnership. Gallaudet University leads the world in undergraduate liberal arts education, career development, and outstanding graduate programs for deaf, hard of hearing and hearing students. Hearing impaired students at Gallaudet University volunteer their time to prepare returns for the student population under the Volunteer Return Preparation Program (VRPP). Despite having hearing disabilities, the students overcome all obstacles and run a successful program. Gallaudet University plans to expand their services to the deaf community off campus this year.
