Laurene E. Simms, PhD

Department of Education, Gallaudet University

Professional

Last year I worked tirelessly to complete the first Faculty online portfolio for the Department of Education.  So instead of doing all of that hard work again, I am going to provide you a link directly to my Professional Portfolio.  This portfolio is an accumulation of my work here at Gallaudet University with the Department of Education.

I was also a featured guest on Bob’s Vlog which is a regularly aired video blog broadcast from the President of Gallaudet University, Dr. Robert R. Davila.  The link to that broadcast is below.

April of 2008, I was one of the featured guests on Bob’s Vlog with Thuan Nguyen and Elvia Guillermo staff member’s who provide support for students of color on a daily basis so that they feel respected, valued, and appreciated.  The link to that broadcast is below.

I was delighted to be featured on Gallaudet’s new webpage as one of the “Faces of Gallaudet” where I discussed my life here at Gallaudet.

And finally I had the Pleasure as the 2006 Distinguished Faculty Member to introduce Dr. Robert R. Davila during his installation as the 9th President of Gallaudet University.  While this video is long at 1 hour and 35 minutes, it is well worth watching.  However you can fast forward to the 1 hour and 5 minute mark to catch my introduction.

As part of a social action project to raise money for Deaf Hurricane Katrina victims, my EDU 719 “Deaf People, Education, and Community” class had me kissing a pig during Gallaudet Homecoming festivities (2005).
