The Student Council disability and access committee, in conjunction with the CIO Deafness Education and Awareness for Students, is celebrating Deaf Awareness Week this week.
Events already held included bowling, a coffee chat and an ice cream social to provide an opportunity for students to learn about American Sign Language and deaf culture.
"We started up some discussions and they lasted for a good while," DEAFS President Vidya Kapadia said. "We try and sign for a good while so people can pick up sign language that way."
DEAFS is holding an interest meeting tonight at 7 p.m. that is open to all students.
