Internationally recognized deaf educator and advocate Roslyn "Roz" Rosen has been appointed director of Cal State Northridge's acclaimed National Center on Deafness (NCOD), university officials announced today.
Rosen spent 33 years at Gallaudet University in Washington D.C. before retiring in 2003. She served in several capacities at Gallaudet, ranging from professor to vice president for academic affairs. She subsequently became the executive director of the Council on Education of the Deaf, consultant on international affairs with the Communication Services for the Deaf, and international officer with the World Federation of the Deaf. She assumes her new post Sept. 25.
"We are very fortunate to have someone of Dr. Rosen's experience, expertise and reputation joining us as director of NCOD," said Terry Piper, CSUN's vice president for student affairs. "She will bring new ideas, new energy and an absolute commitment to the educational and personal success of our deaf and hard of hearing students."
Northridge President Jolene Koester agreed.
"NCOD has a long history of providing quality services to deaf and hard of hearing students," she said. "With Dr. Rosen's leadership, I am confident that we will attain even higher levels of excellence in providing learning opportunities in and outside the classroom."
CSUN's National Center on Deafness has served more than 2,500 students who are deaf and hard of hearing since its inception more than 40 years ago. NCOD provides communication access, leadership opportunities, scholarships, academic advisement, tutoring and direct communication classes each year for approximately 200-250 students who are deaf and hard of hearing.
Established at CSUN in 1964, NCOD was the first postsecondary program in the nation to provide paid sign language interpreters for interactive mainstream programming, for undergraduate and for graduate students in its National Leadership Training Program. Since then, the program has grown to be the largest of its kind in the Western United States.
Piper said CSUN was satisfied that the best possible candidate was recruited for NCOD. Rosen said she was looking forward to coming to Northridge.
"I'm excited about joining the vibrant CSUN family and collaborating with diverse constituencies to achieve a networked, successful, accessible and exemplary learning-centered environment for all students," she said. "CSUN has a proud record as a top notch university for deaf and hard of hearing students, and I look forward to becoming part of its positive future."
Rosen's career path has led her through a variety of vocations, including sign language and adult education teacher, vocational rehabilitation counselor, secondary school supervising teacher, director of the Kellogg Special Schools of the Future project, tenured university professor in the department of administration and supervision, dean of the college for continuing education and university chief academic officer.
As vice president for academic affairs, she was responsible for leading all university academic and student support programs, undergraduate and graduate degree programs, research, library, continuing education and outreach programs. It was a post she held for seven years.
Concurrently, Rosen has been involved in community leadership, including serving eight years on the board of the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD), where she was lead author of the organization's policies on education. In 2003, the federation honored her with a WFD International Cross award and lifetime honorary board membership.
Prior to her work with WFD, Rosen served as an elected board member for 13 years with the National Association of the Deaf, including three years as president. She also sat on the boards of the American Society for Deaf Children and the National Captioning Institute.
Rosen is a recognized expert, leader, consultant and author in educational leadership and advocacy. She has published extensively and conducted a number a workshops and conferences on various topics, including organizational management, leadership, education, human rights and women's issues.
She earned her bachelor's and master's degrees from Gallaudet University and her doctorate in education administration from Catholic University of America in Washington D.C.

The university serves as the intellectual, economic and cultural heart of the Valley and beyond.
