November 13-15, 2014: NTID’s Bridges Scholars at the VL2 Student Retreat @ Gallaudet University! Over 30 students attended the VL2 Student Retreat. A welcome address was given by Dr. Tom Allen and a special video from Dr. Laura-Ann Pettito. Students received training in various workshops such as linguistics, neuroscience, language assessments, and many more! A special thanks to those who fuzed in to share VL2’s Strategic Focus Areas and the individual studies within them. The retreat ended with a wonderful closing from Dr. Clifton Langdon and Dr. Peter Hauser who charmed the students with wonderful advice on how to survive academia and ethics related to researching deaf populations....
