Web Site Goal
The goal of the American Sign Language Club's website is to provide a WWW presence for the ASL Club. This site should encourage ASL and ITP students to get involved, particularly enticing potential members to join the Club and support ASL Club events. It will also provide information about Deaf events, both on campus and off campus, and inform about available resources to the ASL/ITP student.
