Pitt Community College plans to participate in Deaf Awareness Week with programs designed to educate the public on hearing loss and how everyday life is affected by it.
All events are being held in the Leslie Building room 143.
Activities start Tuesday at 11 a.m. with PCC students Tejuana Keyes and Winnie Hemby, who are hearing impaired, performing a song through sign language in the Leslie Building.
Wednesday at noon, author and speaker Ken Glickman will utilize humor to provide an entertaining look at deaf culture.
Glickman, who has written books on deafness, will examine and explain situations unique to those who have lost their hearing.
A mini-course on sign language will bring the week to a close.
On Friday starting at 11 a.m., deaf students from PCC will teach those who participate in "Speed Signing" the basics of sign language, including the alphabet, numbers and several key phrases.
Each program requires pre-registration to attend.
Those who would like to participate should contact Nicole Nicholas, the school's lead interpreter for deaf and hard of hearing at 493-7595 or through e-mail at nnicholas@email.pittcc.edu.
