NLCSD Welcomes Cohort 2 Scholars!
 
On July 30th and 31st, NLCSD welcomed 20 Cohort 2 Scholars to the Consortium. Ten Scholars are focusing their studies in deafness/hard of hearing, three Scholars in deafblindness, and seven Scholars in blindness/visual impairment. They are attending twelve Consortium universities across the country. During the meeting, Cohort 2 Scholars got to know Consortium faculty, PAC members, and other Scholars.  Cohort 1 Scholars took leadership roles as they facilitated several sessions and shared their knowledge and experience with the new scholars.

Join NLCSD's closed Facebook group!

At the July meeting, many participants requested an easy way of communicating with the NLCSD community, and one suggestion was a closed group on Facebook. We encourage all members of NLCSD to join and to use it as a vehicle to share information, collaborate, and strengthen our cross-disability  group.
