Well, if you are one of the infected graduates of Penn State University (that is a very serious illness, mind you…they are really sick puppies)…the Nittany Lion is the mascot of the University. Is there really such a thing as a Nittany Lion?
Only here in Happy Valley.
Wondering what I’m doing in Penn State (2 1/2 hours from the Burgh)…after all, I just got back from New Orleans…well, I’m on a state level advisory board for Deaf Education (I represent higher education on the board) and ERCHL is having its annual retreat. (Read that as work sessions for two solid days with some food in between and a healthy dose of laughter as well)…it is a great way to establish important comaraderie (sp??) and collaboration among all the deaf related consumer/constituencies in Pennsylvania.
Anyhow, I’m here until Thursday, communing about all things Deaf. One exciting thing…we have a new document called the PA Agenda for Students who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing that is about to be introduced statewide…we will really be the envy of every single state in the USA because this document truly outlines that which is critically important in educating the deaf and hard of hearing children in this state…something sorely needed across the US.
Can’t wait to find out my role in the dissemination of the Agenda…should be *neat* (dork word, I know!)
Off to the bar meeting!
