Gallaudet, Procter & Gamble strengthen partnership

A Gallaudet University delegation visited Procter & Gamble (P&G) corporate headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio on April 30. This visit served as a key milestone in the long-standing partnership between Procter & Gamble and Gallaudet University.  

Dr. Raja Kushalnagar and Dr. Abraham Glasser from Accessible Human-Centered Computing, Dr. Adebowale Ogunjirin from Biology, and Mary Dakim, ’07 & G-’11, from Business accompanied Dr. Julie Tibbitt, EdS ’18 & PhD ’20, from the Office for Career Success. They toured the P&G Heritage Center and engaged with multiple corporate leaders and employees. The central theme throughout the day was inclusivity in the workplace and experiential learning opportunities for Gallaudet students. Both parties demonstrated a clear meeting of minds regarding their shared principles of inclusivity and innovation.  

The Gallaudet University team is grateful to P&G Global Business Units Services and Solutions (GBUSS) Strategy and Operations Leader Scott Van Nice for facilitating the visit.
