} As a student-athlete, I think one thing about Gallaudet that makes it different from all the other schools is the open, visual communication. I’m hard of hearing and from a public school. Gaining confidence was really a process throughout my high school years. Here, it didn’t take long for me to realize that the ease in getting my teammates’ attention and passing plays and feedback during practice was just one of the many good things about the communication access here. Being a student-athlete is a huge commitment. It takes dedication to manage your time between your academics and your sport. The only way to do it is to work hard toward your goal through daily practice, and that’s true whether you’re on the court or in the classroom. The people here really want to help you make that happen. ~ Stephanie Weiss, West Palm Beach, Fla., interpretation major Coaching and training staff members are dedicated to optimal student-athlete performance. ALUMNA PROMOTED TO HEAD COACHING POSITION Mikaela Hudson is the new full-time head coach for the men’s and women’s cross country and track and field programs. She is also a Gallaudet alumna – class of 2010 – where she earned her bachelor’s in American Sign Language and her master’s in Sign Language Teaching. In her first season as the men’s and women’s track and field coach with Gallaudet last spring Hudson helped sophomore jumper Darius Flowers (Birmingham, Ala.) finish sixth overall at the 2011 NCAA Division III outdoor championships in the triple jump where he earned All-American honors. This past fall she guided the Bison cross country teams in their first season ever in the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) where the women’s and men’s teams placed 8th and 10th overall, respectively, at the conference championships. “I am excited to have the opportunity to lead Gallaudet’s cross country and track and field program,” said Hudson. “I look forward to continuing to build competitive programs at the conference and national levels and improve the overall future success of our student-athletes.” Community 21
