Imagine unparalleled access to a collegiate experience designed just for you Services that make it a breeze to excel in your classes and gain valuable experience include: JumpStart ASL is a five-week immersion program designed for firstyear undergraduate students who are unfamiliar with a bilingual living and learning environment. Come prior to the start of your first semester and learn enough basic sign skills to communicate with your new classmates and teachers. You’ll also get oriented to Gallaudet’s history and traditions, deaf awareness, and deaf culture. Bonus: participate in adventure-based programming focused on developing teamwork, as well as decision-making and conflict resolution skills. The Career Center is a hub of activity for students seeking professional experience. Networking opportunities, training and self-marketing workshops are provided year-round. Job and internship opportunities are actively pursued with local, national, and international employers. The Academic Advising staff provides customized counsel for your academic career, whether you’re choosing your next class, declaring your major, or refining your career goals. The individual attention given to undeclared majors is indeed individualized: staff are trained to assist students as they complete interest and personality testing, computerized career guidance programs, and evaluating their own values, interests, personality, and skill sets for compatibility with a major. Supplemental Instruction is an academic assistance program in which students who have previously done well in a given course, known as “SI leaders,” attend all class lectures, take notes, and facilitate free, informal study sessions for current students. }You’ll meet people who will help you become a better signer. So if you make mistakes, or if you don’t know a sign for something, someone’s there to help you out. My advice: it’s all about good experiences, a great opportunity ~ to meet new people.
