What is ASL at Cornell?
We aim to promote heightened awareness of the Deaf community, culture, and history. In doing so, we hope to facilitate an inclusive environment on campus and in the Ithaca community that welcomes Deaf and hard of hearing individuals, while allowing all students to develop a greater understanding of American Sign Language (ASL) and the Deaf community. Finally, we hope to achieve our vision and goals through collaboration with the Deaf community, weekly general body meetings, and events to encourage students in the ASL course sequence to apply their knowledge from class to the community.
