Three RIT college of science professors learn ASL

Abstract

American Sign Language program--an unforgettable experience by Marcia Birken, professor; Carol Marchetti, assistant professor; and Eileen Marron, assistant dean--College of Science.

Last spring we all signed up for the month-long Provost Summer American Sign Language and Deaf Culture Experience for the same reason--to communicate with the ever-increasing population of deaf students in the College of Science. We gave up most of the month of June to become better communicators in what we thought would be a straightforward educational endeavor.
