At the info session, you will meet all the execs, learn all about our programmes and meet other club members. We also hear there might be free snacks there, but we guess you just have to pop by to find out! The room itself is TBD; when we have that information, we will send a follow-up email, post on Facebook and Twitter and mention it here.

In terms of what the year looks like, just take a look below. You do not need to know ASL or a sign language to be a part of this club!

Beginner lessons for those who do not know anything about ASL or are beginners wishing to practise the language.

Our conversation group for ASL that will be a fully Deaf, voice-off environment. This is the best place for those fluent in ASL, have a working knowledge of ASL or have taken one class and feel comfortable being in a Deaf environment even if you do not feel comfortable having a full conversation in ASL.

sign languages throughout the year. Look out for ASL and We will be organizing activities to learn about parts of Deaf culture andlanguages throughout the year. Look out for ASL and BANZSL fingerspelling clinics as well as si5s -writing clinics.

This year, we will be inviting speakers from the Deaf community, from Douglas (interpreters) and other sources to discuss relevant topics in Deaf Culture and the Deaf community. All talks will be in ASL and English; we may bring in LSQ-interpretation later in the year.

If you are a linguistics nerd (in the good way!), keep an eye out for more information about our linguistics group. We will be trying to co-ordinate with graduate students, profs and other academics and get reading groups going as well as discussions about sign language linguistics.

THANK YOU and we hope to see you out!
