Glick teaching the Goddard audience 'DEAFology 101.' |
Members of the
Goddard community in coordination with our Nation are recognizing
October as National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Two days
of presentations by guest lecturer Ken Glickman gave audiences a
very exciting and unusual introduction to the Deaf World.
The Equal Opportunity
Advisory Committee on People with Disabilities and the Equal Opportunity
Programs Office, in conjunction with the Office of Human Resources,
sponsored the two different shows Oct. 22 and 23 in the Building
3 auditorium.
The first show
entitled DEAFology 101 was a highly entertaining and educating experience
for most in the audience. Ken, as "Prof. Glick," presented
this lecture dressed in a lab coat, beady black reading glasses
and pipe in hand. In an imagery classroom setting with the audience
as class members, Prof Glick in a hilarious, fast-past course presented
material on everything from anthropology to biology. But in a unique
and insightful presentation he allowed the audience to follow him
in the exploration of situations unique to the world of people who
are deaf.
