Deaf Awareness Week 2005 "Beyond the Signs..."

Silent Bucs, along with Disability Services, is proud to announce Deaf Awareness Week 2005, which is being celebrated October 3th-8th.  Several events are being scheduled for this week and also later in the month in observance of Disability Awareness Month.  Disability Services would like to personally invite each of you to our events.  We hope that you will also consider giving extra credit to students who attend these events, which will add to the cultural diversity aspect of our university.  Below is a listing of the events planned.  Please contact me at 439-8490 if you have any questions.  Thank you.
