As part of SXSW EDU\u2019s accessibility and inclusion track, Cordano talks about why it\u2019s important, whether deaf or hearing, for everyone to learn sign language, and strongly suggests to start exposing young children to sign language at birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cordano also visits TSD, Friday, March 11, 2022 to meet prospective Gallaudet students and families, and hosts a luncheon for local Gallaudet University alumni on the TSD campus, March 12, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cordano is the 11th president of Gallaudet University – the world\u2019s only liberal arts university for students who are deaf and hard of hearing, in Washington, D.C. She is the fourth deaf president and the first deaf female president in the university\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It\u2019s great to see SXSW include a Deaf person of important significance in its\u2019 programming, TSD Superintendent, Claire Bugen, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe welcome the opportunity for SXSW attendees to learn why this vibrant language, American Sign Language, is important for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
