About Us
The goal of the American Sign Language and Deaf Culture Club is to promote awareness and exposition of the language and culture of Deaf Americans to the University of Illinois community. American Sign Language uses a visual and expressive mode of communication instead of spoken word. Organizational members will have the opportunity to learn basic communicative skills in sign language and will be encouraged to continue their involvement in the Deaf community and fluency in American Sign Language. Lastly, students will have the opportunity to partake in outreach and engagement with the University of Illinois and Champaign-Urbana community.
