Join us for the "Deaf President Now!" Event! 🤟

We are excited to host a special screening and facilitated discussion of the 2025 documentary following the historic 1988 student-led protests at Gallaudet University. This movement led to the appointment of the school’s first Deaf President, and we’re diving deep into that legacy with panelists who were there to share their memories.
