Gallaudet University’s Homecoming weekend – Oct. 17 to 21, 2007
DawnSignPress (DSP) sent six staff members to Washington DC to give them first-hand exposure to the world’s Deaf Mecca, Gallaudet University. DSP staffers met many friendly people on and off campus, were able to attend Homecoming activities, tour the campus, and meet DSP Scholarship winners for 2006 and 2007.
The experience was rich and rewarding, and DSP hopes to send more staff members to Gallaudet in the future.

Special Note:
Thank to Joe Dannis for making this happened. Also, thank to Laura Harvey and Matt Ellis for their excellent feedbacks.
It’s great to see my former co-workers again! I enjoyed seeing you all on your trip here to DC and again on this vlog! Looks like you all had a great time while you were here. Be seeing you around!
AWWWW! Thanks! It is a good memory. I went to Gallaudet University in 1989-1990. I am considering to take a few courses at GU for my doctorate program in 2009 or 2010 if LU accepts me in doc program. Thanks for sharing with us! Will be looking forward to going back to GU sometime in future.
Excellent video made. We did bump each other few times there. Pleasure to chat a bit with you and Holly there. I know it was worth to visit Gallaudet. Keep visiting there.
This is the “harbinger of things to come.” Business, schools, and other institutions will learn to produce (almost like “daily routine”) videoclips, vblogs, live webcasting, and more unseen in their websites. Examples: schools can vlog lectures of their outstanding teachers for regional classrooms providing natural and vivid ASL anywhere, Businesses can post vlogs to advertise their products. A big et cetera . . .
Jon (and Joe), you did a sterling example – a shining beacon of things to come. Bravo!
Joe’s right, one needs to see Gallaudet University to understand deaf culture and appreciate its history.
Hi Jon,
It is very nice of you show us this very good Video about many thing in this history and include Gallaudet College too and Guess what ….. I never been there before but I did apply for it and you know what they said to me “you’re not deaf enough” so it turn me off very quickly sad Iam. Back in old time is difference. Today much better. One of these day I must go to explorer around. For those you GUYS are luckly to go . I am sure you all have blast a good memory time. Way a go!
Thanks

It was really great meeting you and Holly at Gallaudet. I was impressed that your boss would send all of you to Gally, to get a taste what it’s like to be fully immersed in a Deaf environment. He has the right idea, that’s for sure!
