Inside CMU
CMU hosts Deaf Awareness Week with a variety of activities planned this week.
Participants can experience what it is like to live in a world without sound, try out new games popularized within deaf culture, as well as learn some basics of American Sign Language.
The week's events also include an American Sign Language demonstration class, to be held Oct. 2 at 12:30 p.m. in the atrium of the Health Professions Building. Led by communication disorders professor Susan Naeve-Velguth, the class will highlight the distinctive language that has garnered much attention at CMU. More than 100 students have signed up for the ASL minor.
Admission is free to all Deaf Awareness Week events, and the public is welcome to attend.
Other activities scheduled for Deaf Awareness Week include:
* An opportunity to play deaf games that are popular among the deaf population, many utilizing American Sign Language, will take place Oct. 2. Sponsored by the American Sign Language Society, the games will be held in the Lake Michigan and Lake Superior rooms of the Bovee University Center from 6 to 8 p.m.
* A bring-your-own silent lunch, hosted by communication disorders faculty member Kendra Miller, will take place on the front lawn of the Health Professions Building from noon until 1 p.m. Oct. 3.
* "Deaf world," a demonstration that allows hearing individuals to experience what it is like to be deaf, will be led by communication disorders faculty member Kevin Cramer from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the Lake Michigan and Lake Superior rooms of the Bovee University Center.
* Deaf magician "The Great Bobini" will perform at 7 p.m. Oct. 4 in the Bovee University Center Auditorium. American Sign Language will be used throughout the performance, though all audiences will be able to follow along.
