William Woods University Deaf Awareness Week

Deaf Awareness Week is being held March is March 24th-March 28th. It
is a great opportunity for everyone on campus as well as in the
community to come together to learn about issues concerning the Deaf
community as well as what daily life is like for Deaf individuals. We are
very excited this year to be bringing back popular events from previous
years as well as adding new ones to make this our best Deaf Awareness
Week ever! Throughout the week there will be various activities in which
both the students on campus and the members of the community will be
able to participate. It is our hope that through this week we will be able to
expand the knowledge of Deaf culture to all involved! The events of the
