UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH


—

Research with International Impact

Dr. Christian Vogler is developing open source mobile and desktop applications that will allow text, voice and high quality video calling. Students are working with Dr. Dirksen Bauman to develop a leading-edge online American Sign Language resource. Dr. Laura-Ann Petitto is conducting groundbreaking research in bilingual learning and educational neuroscience.

They and other faculty bring exceptional undergraduate research opportunities to Gallaudet.

Use leading-edge technology often reserved for graduate students at other universities. Earn a scholarship supported by the National Science Foundation or other major grantors. Collaborate in research that will make a diference in your career and in the world.

Looking into the Human Brain

What is the impact of learning two languages—including a visual language on the developing brain? How do young ASL/English bilingual children develop successful reading skills?

Discoveries in the Petitto Brain and Language Laboratory for Neuroimaging (BL2) are answering these and other questions. World-renowned cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Laura-Ann Petitto and her team use some of the world’s most advanced brain imaging systems, including functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), to study how the brain processes language during infancy. Undergraduate student interns can become certifed in operating fNIRS and work as research assistants on studies that will improve deaf education around the world.

Petitto, scientifc director of BL2, has lectured throughout the world and been interviewed by national and international media about her research on language learning in the human brain.

At Gallaudet, we believe there should be more deaf and hard of hearing professionals in science, technology and mathematics. That’s why we ofer undergraduate scholarships, internships and research opportunities in molecular genetics, bioinformatics, nanotechnology and ecology.

Living on campus—everything is here for you.

First- and second-year students at Gallaudet all live on campus, and many juniors and seniors choose to live on campus as well.

First-year students live in Benson Hall, where it’s easy to make friends and connect with peer mentors and other support staf. We will make sure you feel right at home at Gallaudet through get-to-know-you activities and Freshman Foundation courses.

After that, you could select a bright, open residence hall built entirely using DeafSpace architectural design elements. Or you could choose to live on “Faculty Row,” three U.S. National Historic Register homes with full kitchens and faculty-in-residence.

What is DeafSpace?

DeafSpace elements foster community and visual interaction through lighting, visual sight lines and wide pathways to make signing easy.

Gallaudet students were instrumental in deciding how LLRH6, our newest residence hall, should be designed. All public spaces in our other residence halls were also recently renovated based on this input.


Our 99-acre, historic campus

includes an indoor swimming pool, a rock-climbing wall,

an arts center and a student center for movie nights

and other activities. Events

Enjoy activities for every season, cultural celebrations, Homecoming and other annual events. Gallaudet also brings international and national speakers and performances to campus, not to mention plenty of sports to watch and play. And there’s always something planned in the residence halls.

Dining Options

From cofee to burgers to made-from-scratch meals using local ingredients, we ofer a wide range of convenient dining options on campus. Or head across the street to Union Market for more choices.
