Belonging & Engagement

Belonging and Engagement (BE) leads Gallaudet University’s strategy for inclusive excellence, building a community where everyone belongs and engagement is barrier-free. Through compassionate listening and intentional cross-campus collaboration, we strive to transform relationships and policies that shape the Gallaudet University of the future.

In short, we are charged with being the leading force in building bridges of caring, critical social consciousness, and elevating all community members’ sense of living, well-being, and belonging.

BE offers various programs with the goal of sustaining a safe and welcoming community where we can provide optimum access and outcomes. We provide services, resources, training, coaching, and advising to all our stakeholders at Gallaudet and the Clerc Center.
