"True Biz" - NTID's Weekly Chats
Hello and welcome to Fall 2025! We are excited to continue our weekly "coffee chat" gatherings each week. We will be updating our marketing as we are now calling this "True Biz". (If you don't know what "True Biz" means - in ASL/Deaf culture, it means "real/serious talk, to have an honest conversation." These chats may be serious, fun, informative or tell us what's on your mind. We want YOU to feel connected to one another).
This is simply a time for YOU (faculty, staff and students) to swing by, join us for some conversation. Each week, we will have a different theme/topic and gives us an opportunity to interact with one another. Feel free to chat about what's on your mind too!
