Did you know…?

The Deaf population in the US is around 37 million people, but there are just 15,500 certified ASL interpreters. UW-Milwaukee is looking to change that - they are the only public or private university in Wisconsin to offer a Bachelors of Science in American Sign Language / English Interpreting. The program began in the early 1990s as a submajor under the School of Education and achieved status as a standalone degree in 2022.


Helena Meyer, a student in the UWM ASL program, converses with a peer during an event.

The program focuses not just on language, but also on Deaf history and culture, and on community immersion. All program faculty are Deaf, and all the classes are silent, taught fully in ASL. Students also have the option of living in a dedicated residence hall for Deaf students and those who know or are learning ASL.


UWM ASL student Morgan Inches interprets for a volunteer patient during a mock doctor's visit. She wears black to make her hands more visible, and a clear mask to facilitate lip reading.

A bachelor’s degree in ASL is a prerequisite for national certification testing. Once certified, Milwaukee ASL grads are eligible for state licensure, which is required for interpreters to work in educational or community settings. Additional specialty certifications are available for medical and legal interpreters.

baytree - here's the thread for your master schedule.

UW-Milwaukee: 6-2 offense; one left getting a DS, so six subs per rotation; and this is interesting, the libero gets in effect a serving sub in the person of the 2nd libero. All the front row people are 6' and above.

Okay, here's your links and fun facts bump!

Husker Nation said the same thing before playing SMU. Can’t just roll your helmets out there and expect a win. That said, Anna will probably be on “break glass in case of emergency” duty. Beyond that, I don’t know what’s going to happen.

Shadd-Ceres hopefully will see some decent minutes. Maybe a Tosia sighting unless they want to redshirt her?

We also can't roll our helmets out there because this is volleyball. 😄

So the doors are now opening 90 minutes before the matches, due to metal detectors at the gates. How crazy are the lines going to be 30-45 minutes before the match? I do usually like to get there early-ish, but hate to stand in line due to the rush for GA seats.

It's been said many times, but Rainbow, your "Did you know..." sections are top tier. There is none higher on Volley Talk. Your above and beyond is thoroughly appreciated!

After what we've seen so far, I wouldn't take anything for granted, or take any opponent "lightly".

As a long time GA denizen, I am very curious about what the line and frenzy situation is going to look like. (I like the upper deck so it only really affects me in big games.) I'm planning to get there an hour ahead of time and see what's what.


I can't imagine the lines haven't dissolved by 30-45 minutes ahead of time since they'll have had most of an hour to work through the initial line.

I honestly cannot remember a time when this team at least under Sheffield has taken an opponent lightly. This team brings it regularly.

If the Badgers were to obtain a clear in-game advantage tonight I think it's likely Shadd-Ceres will see time. Because there are only so many opportunities for her to receive in-game opportunities as the level of competition will increase significantly for Big Ten regular season.

Red shirting her would be a smart move imo
