Gallaudet President Dr. Roberta J. Cordano announced in early 2017, “Today I am delighted to share some wonderful news. Gallaudet University has received a major gift to support documentary work and study. Dr. John S. & Dr. Betty J. Schuchman — many of you lovingly know them as Stan and BJ – have generously established an endowed fund supporting documentary education, production, and presentation.”
Through that gift, the Center for Deaf Documentary Studies was renamed the Drs. John S. & Betty J. Schuchman Deaf Documentary Center.
