The Delegates voted to have the following priorities to become the NAD’s top five priorities for 2020-2022:
– Achieving Equity In Deaf Education
– Campaign to Spotlight the Adverse Impacts of Language Deprivation
– Dismantling Racism in the Deaf Community
– Eliminating Barriers to Quality Care for Deaf Seniors
– Foster Care Bill of Rights
SU is one of only two universities in the University System of Maryland to offer a deaf studies program. Professionals with the skills and knowledge to work with this community are currently in high demand, as the Eastern Shore sees a growing population of culturally deaf and hard-of-hearing people who choose the area’s many beach resorts to retire.

** If you do not feel safe voting, bring a friend. If you see anyone breaking the law (i.e. weapons, blocking entrance, giving you a hard time) – call 911 or inform election officers (not the election volunteers, supervisors best). Take pictures or video for proof. **
Vote Safely! Do not let anyone stop you from legally voting (consider provisional ballots if they give you a hard time unless your criminal record does not allow you to vote).
