hrmm...to Alex's question:

I know one freshman at UC Berkeley, my deaf boyfriend at Caltech (he's the only deaf student at Caltech in 28 years), me and my other deaf friend at MIT undergraduate + 3 others as MIT graduate students, and one undergraduate student at Harvard. I don't know for other ivy leagues, but I"m sure there must be at least one.

I saw a link about that guy who went to MIT and started Hands....interesting....I didn't know about him...I'm sure MIT's disabilities services have gotten much better in the last 20 years since the article....but there are too few of us at MIT or Harvard...which is why two of my Harvard, two of my MIT friends and I are planning to collaborate and enter Harvard's pitch contest about non-profit services or technology that can help to make the world better. We are thinking about programming and creating a social-networking website that connects middle and high school deaf students to college students in any college of their choice...sort of like mentors to encourage younger students to pursue higher education and networking with others into professional industries (I had personally sort of a hard time finding other deaf and disabled professionals to talk to in the industries I'm interested in, such as consulting, finance, business, science tech, etc--not one of those dead and hard of hearing interpreters/education sort of thing)--starting with MIT and Harvard as the first colleges. (could be expanded to later colleges if we can find more students from those colleges)

Good for you and your boyfriend/friends. What are you majoring in, may I ask?

By the way, good luck with your web project! :)
