It was an inspiring experience filled with engaging conversations, creative exploration, and connection with writers and thinkers from around the world.

The CBU ASL Club, in partnership with the Chemistry Department, hosted a Deaf Chemistry Fair for CSDR middle school students. The 35 students engaged in hands-on activities such as slime-making, life-sized bubbles, UV bracelets, and elephant toothpaste while communicating and connecting through sign language.
The fair created a fun, inclusive environment that encouraged both scientific exploration and social interaction, which allowed the opportunity for the deaf and hearing world to connect and immerse fostering community.
