From 1989 to 1994, our lecturer Stefan Goldschmidt was a student at Gallaudet University and completed his studies there with a B.A. in sociology and a minor in deaf studies.
After 17 years now, he visited Gallaudet again, because of two occasions. Between October 24 and October 26 2019, Gallaudet held its annual homecoming weekend, welcoming Alumni and guests. Secondly, Stefan’s class of 1994 held its Silver Anniversary and class reunion.
Returning to his old place of activities gave him the opportunity to see many familiar faces, take part in the festive events of Homecoming and Class of '94 and gave him the chance to talk to professors of Deaf Studies. He met for example Dr. Dirksen Baumann, Dr. Ben Bahan, Dr. Gene Mirus, among others and had a professional exchange with them on recent topics of Deaf Studies.
It was a very worthwhile trip.
