Texas School Becomes Gally Center

Gallaudet University has picked Austin Community College as a regional center. That means the College will get $200,000 from the Washington, DC school to provide assistance and classes for the deaf or hard of hearing as well as ASL and deaf studies classes. Because the Texas School for the Deaf is located in the city, it has a large deaf population. Austin Community College has upwards of 150 deaf and hard of hearing students and more than a dozen of its faculty are Gallaudet alum.
