Internship Award
Got a letter today from the Gallaudet Career Center. It seems that in addition to today’s induction into the Phi Alpha Pi Honor Society (Gallaudet’s own little Phi Beta Kappa), I’m being inducted into the Career Center’s Internship Hall of Fame! It recognized interns who exceeded all expectations during their work. Last year only three … Continue reading
Early Gallaudet History Tidbits
Fun tidbits about Gallaudet that I picked up during today’s research: In the 1890s, on 7th Street, halfway between Florida and H, was a deli owned by a couple – the husband was deaf. During a Hare and Hound run around 1900, the men wore their black and white striped football uniforms. The hare led … Continue reading
NTUT and Gallaudet
(Posted this on the Gallaudet blog, but of course I’m copying it here!) Hey everybody! I am at my internship in Japan, and I thought I would tell you a little bit about the differences between Gallaudet and Tsukuba University of Technology. The academic culture is a little different here. In the US, it is … Continue reading
No Scuba
I think I shall never become a scuba diver. I had my first class today at school. For those who don’t know, I had an injury on a 2006 “discover scuba” trip in Bermuda; my hearing was damaged as a result of this. But the world underwater was SO cool, and I really wanted to … Continue reading

It would be on a Saturday, and it wouldn’t be required, but if you went, you could then write a paper about the experience and earn extra credit. So I asked if there would be an opportunity for students who couldn’t go … Continue reading

I’m not talking about debate team type debate, just having simple discussions in class. Today one student and I – he’s also an older student … Continue reading
Classes
I’m adding a fifth class this semester. I’m nervous because I’ve always taken only four in the past, but I think I should be able to handle it. It’s the “Scientific and Quantitative Reasoning in Context” class, and the specific subject is “A Psycho-Social and Biological View of HIV/AIDS.” It’s a service learning class, and … Continue reading
How You Know I’m Not Dead
I’m still here…can’t you tell by the Twitter posts? That’s the whole point of them, really. Both nosrednayduj and sunnydale47 expressed their dislike of the Twitter update posts. They’re honestly temporary…I tried them a while back and even I didn’t like them, so I discontinued them. The reason they’re reappearing now is because I just … Continue reading
