New Gally Board Member

Congressman Kevin Yoder is now a Board of Trustees member of Gallaudet University. The Kansas Republican was appointed just a few days ago. Chair Benjamin Soukup said, “Congressman Yoder’s leadership qualities will be an asset to our Board of Trustees as it helps guide the university in meeting the needs of present and future generations of students.” Gallaudet President Alan Hurwitz noted, “Many alumni from both Gallaudet and KSD have gone on to lives of achievement and purpose... and many of those alumni were former student leaders.” Hurwitz thanked the members of the KSD Student Body Council for their commitment to service, as they “represent the next generation of leaders in the deaf community.”
