Avonne Brooker-Rutowski

As the Director of Undergraduate Admissions at Gallaudet University, Avonne leads and builds a dynamic admissions team. They were once students themselves, and their lived experiences and successes now inspire the next generation of Bison. She is passionate about creating impactful and innovative recruitment strategies that bring Gallaudet to students and families, and finds it rewarding to watch students grow from their very first day on campus through graduation.

Outside of the office, Avonne enjoys walking, reading, traveling, exploring different coffee shops, and spending time with her family. She loves connecting with students, learning about their perspectives, and discovering how Gallaudet can make a difference in their lives.
