Today, the College of Education, Sacramento State generously provided space and sponsorship for a powerful gathering of local and regional Teachers of the Deaf!

It was a meaningful and productive meeting where educators came together to voice concerns, exchange ideas, and share valuable resources to support our Deaf students.
