I joined the Civically Engaged Scholar program because it will allow me to engage in service-related opportunities that will make a meaningful difference in the Deaf community. In addition, I will develop deep connections, gain self-confidence, and develop my ASL skills along the way. Participating in this program will help me achieve my goals and provide incredible personal growth. I believe being involved with the Civically Engaged Scholars is a wonderful opportunity and am grateful to be a part of it.
