ASL Living Learning Community Coming to EKU!

My fellow RA, Trevor Jenkins, in McGregor Hall has been busting his behind all year to get the university to approve the ASL LLC floor for EKU. He was successful in his efforts and now EKU will be the first school to have any LLC or residence hall living arrangement of the sort in KY that isn't an actual school for the Deaf (like KSD) (or so I've been told--sorry if I'm wrong, but I don't think I am). This floor will become available in the 2013-2014 school year. It will likely be in McGregor or Clay hall, but that is still undecided upon by the university. Also, this floor will work like the rest of the LLC's (where people who live on that floor have declared that major or one that involves many of the same things, and then signs a contract to complete all the duties of being a resident on said LLC) only I believe this LLC will be available to Deaf Ed, ITP, Lang/Com Disorders, ASL Minors, and Deaf studies. (DON'T hold me to this 100% because EKU is still working out some kinks. All I wanted to let you know is that it got approved and is the first of it's kind in KY Academia!) Congrats to Trevor and all his hard work!
