Gallaudet University — Leading School for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Students

At Gallaudet, Deaf culture is embraced. Since 1864, the university has been improving accessibility for their deaf students. Gallaudet University sits in the center of Washington, D.C., on 99 beautiful acres. Founded by an Act of Congress and signed by President Abraham Lincoln, Gallaudet University has now become the leading university for deaf and hard of hearing students from around the world. It is also the home of the award-winning Kellogg Conference Center and Hotel, a world-class property and meeting site.

Today, Gallaudet University is seen as the most important resource for deaf people. It’s the only university in the country that’s fully accessible for deaf and hard of hearing people, and the whole university is designed to be “responsive and expressive of the rich relationship between deaf and hard of hearing experiences and the built environment.”
