Description

Labs are professional development and cultural-linguistic practicums where students have an opportunity to enhance their expressive and receptive skills in ASL and professional competencies. These practicums provide students with an experiential learning environment that aims to:
1. Better one another and foster a positive learning environment.
2. Build a professional network within the deaf community locally and globally.
3. Use the cohorts’ collective skills to become a resource of practice and promote Deaf Studies.
