Index Number: 14068 I have a friend who is interested in attending a deaf university and would like to communicate with someone from such a university using my account. He is graduating from deaf school (grade 11/12) this June and may be interested in attending university this or next fall. There is supposed to be a deaf university in Washington, D.C., but we're not sure of the name. I have seen someone posting in one of the other newsgroups whose .sig contains the statement that his/her institution is the only "deaf university in" either "the United States" or "the world". Perhaps someone knows who this is and could have him/her reply. [Note from Bill McGarry: The university is Gaullaudet University in Washington, DC but I'll leave it up to some of the Gaullaudet staff, students and alumni reading this to answer this letter.] Thanks for the assistance, Darrell Broughton For Allen Gatereaux

It depends on what you want to do, or should I say what your friend wants to do. I am surprised that the guidance staff at his/her SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF isn't on the ball here. ([soap box mode on] the school building doesn't have ears which don't work, it's like the blind school that doesn't have windows, please folks, get this one right! I may not know about ASL, but I *do* know about English and this blooper really gets to me. [soap box mode off]) If he/she has taken a college prep course, then the guidance staff should be working with him/her to help find the right university. Ask your friend to go to the guidance office at school and let them show him/her the materials on both universities. I agree that networking with others in order to get personal experience and/or information is good, but don't overlook the avenues available where you are. Unless, of course, there aren't any, which wouldn't surprise me. Nothing surprises me any more. <grin> Wishing your friend good luck in choosing a university. He/she'd better hussle if he/she wants to get in this fall, though. Take care, see you on-line.

Index Number: 14658 Greetings from Gallaudet University. Our claim to fame is we're "the only acreditted liberal arts university for the deaf in the world". I've been working here as a computer programmer for the past 13 years, and although I'm not deaf myself, I've met several students and faculty members over that time. Anyway, for further details, your friend can write to: Gallaudet University Admissions Office 800 Florida Avenue, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20002-3625 Good Luck. ----------- U.S. Mail ------------------------------- E-Mail ------------------ Kevin Cole <Flatline> | Bitnet: CADS_COLE@GALLUA.BITNET Center for Assessment and | or Demographic Studies (CADS) | KJCOLE@GALLUA.BITNET Gallaudet Research Institute (GRI) | Internet: KJCOLE@GALLUX.GALLAUDET.EDU 800 Florida Avenue, N.E. | UUCP: ...!psuvax!gallua.bitnet!kjcole Washington, D.C. 20002-3625 | CompuServe: 76167,1406 (202) 651-5575 | The WELL: kjcole ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If they give you ruled paper, write the other way." - KJC -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Cole <Flatline> | Bitnet: CADS_COLE@GALLUA.BITNET Gallaudet Research Institute | Internet: KJCOLE@GALLUX.GALLAUDET.EDU Washingon, DC 20002 | UUCP: ...!psuvax!gallua.bitnet!kjcole
