Summer Camp
Dana Selznick (ME '11), Arielle Ditkovitch (MA '11) and Brittany Prell (ME '12) graduates from the Deaf Education and Elementary Education program created "Camped Up" - a day camp program located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for children with hearing loss. Their mission is to provide a community in which each child will be able to socialize with other hearing aid and cochlear implant users, gain self advocacy skills and have a blast in a unique listener friendly environment.

October 19 - Advanced Organizational Development: Guiding Organizations through Permanent Whitewater
Classic approaches to change management were designed over fifty years ago to manage one change at a time, in a linear fashion. In case you missed it, that's not the world we live in today.
