Congratulations to the Deaf Education & Hearing Science Program and Deaf Education & Educational Psychology graduates! We are excited to have the opportunity to celebrate our 2024 graduates who have worked so hard in their studies. Their achievement and dedication to deaf education will make a difference in the lives of so many children who are deaf/hard of hearing and their families.

A child’s meal or vegetarian pasta option is available upon request. Please let us know in your RSVP if anyone in your party has any food sensitivities we should be aware of.
