In this thrilling play, the characters are wrought with greed over the value of an extremely rare postage stamp.

nyle Dimarco Lecture

September 12, 2017

In this Academic Lecture Series, Nyle Dimarco - a deaf activist and winner of Dancing with the Stars and America's Next Top model -  gave the audience a well-developed summary of his life as a member of the deaf community. Communicating through American Sign Language and the help of an interpreter, Nyle Dimarco outlined his efforts to raise awareness and bridge the gap between the hearing population and the deaf community. This was a new experience for me due to my limited knowledge of the lifestyles of the hearing impaired, and it provided me with a heightened sense of empathy.
