Arts, Theatre, and the screen The arts community at Gallaudet is thriving. In 2012, Gallaudet became the first university theatre department ever to be hosted by the prestigious D.C. venue known as the Folger Theatre at their annual celebration of Shakespeare’s birthday. Gallaudet’s Theatre Arts department presented “Hamlet” and also became the first actors ever to perform on the Folger stage in ASL. Theatre not your thing? Attend “Skinny Tuesdays,” an informal gathering hosted monthly by FUNcolab as part of an interdisciplinary initiative between faculty from the art, physics, and theatre fields. FUNcolab is a space where you can investigate the overlapping philosophies, technologies, and processes between the artistic, scientific, theatrical, and technological. In other words, it serves as a center for collaboration, interdisciplinary research and creative thinking across Gallaudet. It can become your gateway to connecting with progressive and creative groups and industries outside of Gallaudet University. Past guests at Skinny Tuesdays have included an Egyptian artist whose works incorporates drawing, printmaking, light and sound installation, video, and photography, and a materials scientist who uses photographic techniques to transform the apparent state of materials in her research. Or gather round your dorm room and watch the latest studentproduced TV production. “Crowded” (shown below) is a popular drama centered around five Gallaudet students living together and produced by student-led BisonTV. 16 Community

Imagine an all-access pass to faculty and staff who understand you Whether you’re stopping by the Campus Activities desk to ask about renting camping equipment for the weekend, or you have an appointment with your academic advisor to schedule your next semester’s worth of courses, or you’re telling a chef how you’d like your Sunday omelette prepared, the employees on campus are dedicated to this unique community called Gallaudet University. Students are involved in University governance and enjoy cultivating direct relationships with University employees of all rankings. Several alumni officers serve within the Department of Public Safety (DPS), and the director of DPS is, along with being a former police officer and head of security, a child of deaf adults (CODA) and an RID-certified interpreter. No matter what you need, you have a campus community centered around full access full-time. Student organizations With 76% of all Gallaudet students opting to live on campus, it’s no wonder there’s plenty to do after hours. Join one of the many organizations students lead on campus and find inspiration and camaraderie as you help host events, put out the next issue of the campus newspaper, or spread awareness about your favorite cause. 34 student organizations to choose from Some of our student organizations... • Asian-Pacific Association • Green Gallaudet • Bison TV • Hogwarts Society • Black Deaf Student Union • Latino Student Union • The Buff and Blue • International Student Club • Campus Crusade for Christ • Rainbow Society • Fraternities and Sororities • The Sisterhood Organization • Gamers United • Student Body Government • Greek Council • Tower Clock 10% of undergraduate students have cochlear implants 12% of incoming freshmen were new signers in the fall of 2011 Community 17
