Directed by Assistant Professor Dr. Geoffrey Whitebread, Gallaudet's Master of Public Administration Program has thrived, and now serves 50 students. About 60 percent of them are already professionals working in the field, while the other 40 percent are recent college graduates looking to launch their careers. This mix has made it important to build in flexibility, Whitebread notes, which is why the program offers both on-campus and fully online options and holds classes in the evenings, allowing students to balance the course work with jobs and family responsibilities. “It’s growing and growing fast because it meets students where they are,” says Lecturer Sean Maiwald, ’16.

“As I see a lot of deaf children isolated and alone, I can’t help but think of my experience,” Dr. Amy June Rowley, '97, said last week during a presentation she gave as part of the 9th Education and Advocacy Summit, hosted by the Conference of Educational Administrators of Schools and Programs for the Deaf (CEASD), National Association of the Deaf, and Gallaudet University. The event, held in the Hall Memorial Building, focused on the legal and policy challenges regarding the educational placement of deaf and hard of hearing students.
