Miss Deaf America 2012 – 2014
Congratulations to the NEW Miss Deaf America, Chanel Gleicher!
On Friday July 7th, we witnessed the last-ever Miss Deaf America
Ambassador Program Finals! The event started at seven o’clock but the
line was already long at six with eager fans, families, friends and
attendees. The stage was beautifully lit up with colorful lights and
had two large screens on both ends of the stage creating a very
professional and exciting feel to the event. Fourteen young women all
competed to become the final Miss Deaf America! Read more right here-
we have all the details, including who won runner-ups, and who was
voted Miss Congeniality in the last-ever MDAA Finals!

NTID / RIT – Proud College Bowl Champions!
College Bowl Teams Face Off
Congratulations are due to the NTID / RIT College Bowl team- the RIT
Tigers roared ahead and seized the extremely shiny College Bowl trophy
on Thursday, July 6th, 2012. During the Finals, three familiar
opponents faced off against one another in Louisville. Gallaudet
University, NTID / RIT, and California State University, Northridge
all got off to a great start, and the competition was beyond intense!
Emcee Alana Bealwowed the audience with her knowledge of all things
Louisville- incidentially, the world’s largest manufacturer of disco
balls. It was Thursday Night Fever- and we have a score-by-score
breakdown of the entire competition!
