Recognition for Advanced Achievement in ASL and Deaf Studies Award

Wesleyan University has created a Recognition Award to recognize and honor students who have completed advanced coursework in ASL and Deaf Studies. Many of them have been involved in the program as a Course Assistant, a Teaching Assistant, a member of Sign House and have organized ASL events for the community. While it is not yet possible to receive a degree in ASL and Deaf Studies, faculty and adminstrators involved in the program recognized the importance of celebrating the achievements of these students.

The Recognition for Advanced Achievement in ASL and Deaf Studies Awards are presented to students during a reception with Professors and family during commencement week-end.
