Attending the Oct. 4 event were, from left, Dr. Raymond Witte, dean of the Judith Herb College of Education; UT President Sharon L. Gaber; Judith Herb, UT alumna and benefactor; and Dr. Andrew Hsu, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs. Located on the third floor of Gillham Hall, the center’s mission is to evaluate and inspire peer-reviewed research in the college to improve and advance education and endow a great society. “We are grateful to Judith Herb for her generosity and dedication to her alma mater, and for her belief in the power of education,” Witte said.

JHCOE faculty, Dr. Revathy Kumar is part of a video released by the UT president’s office this week.  The video serves as a reminder that all UT employees are here for our students and patients.

Take a look.

The following is an excerpt from a student email to their instructor, who thought we should share this with the college:

I had you for ASL 1 and 2. I hope you remember me. Over the summer I was doing a internship in New York City for photography. One day while I was on the train on my way into the city a lady was sitting there and the conductor came and was collecting tickets. When he was asking her for her ticket she looked at him and was very confused and then she started to move her hands. When I looked over I realized that she was deaf and signing to him. She was very confused and didn’t know what he was saying. She couldn’t read lips. I wanted to help her but i was very nervous because I had never talked to a real deaf person, but your voice popped into my head and I did it. I signed to her and told her that the man was asking her for her ticket. The symbols that I couldn’t remember I just fingered spell. She was so happy and overjoyed that I knew ASL. After that she asked me a million questions like where am I from?, who taught me ASL, etc. Then she was lost on where she needed to get off and a street that she was going. I was able to give her directions and help her get to where she was going all by signing because she couldn’t read lips( well she barely could). I felt so accomplished since I struggled a lot in your class.

Thank you for being a great teacher. I am currently taking ASL 3 from Katie Rosales. Hope you have a good year.
