Deaf ROC conference
Deaf/HH Scientists ROC (Deaf ROC) conference takes place at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) and Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) on August 29 and 30.
The conference aims to advance the success of deaf and hard-of-hearing (D/HH) individuals in biomedical and behavioral research careers. By doing so, it brings deaf and hard-of-hearing scientists and allied groups together to foster the community and build a network nationwide. For this reason, the conference theme is “Bridging the Gap: Empowering Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students in Hearing Research Environments”.
The conference is formed through the collaboration of URMC and RIT/NTID to give undergraduate and graduate students a platform to learn more about successful deaf scientists who will be giving presentations and panel discussions. All individuals, especially for deaf and hard of hearing, who want to explore biomedical and behavioral avenues are highly encouraged to register and attend this conference!
