Hurwitz at ADARA

Gallaudet President Alan Hurwitz gave the keynote address at the 2011 American Deafness and Rehabilitation Association conference in San Diego. He told attendees that the school is working to better prepare deaf and hard of hearing students to compete in today’s job market. He complimented the work of vocational rehabilitation professionals by saying:
“Just over half of our students receive VR support (of) $9 million. Many of our students would not be able to attend Gallaudet without that support. We are grateful that VR personnel have confidence in our ability to educate these students.”
