Welcome

 

The Research and Resource Center with Deaf* communities is housed in the College of Education along with the Divisions of Deaf Studies and Professional Studies, Education and Leadership, and Health and Exercise Science. For over 50 years we have been writing grants to support students in fields such as interpreter training and rehabilitation counseling. Grant awards from the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) and the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) allow us to provide over $620,000 each year in stipends and tuition remissions for students in our graduate-level ASL/English Interpreting Program and our graduate-level Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling Program.
