NTID marked an important milestone this summer as Dr. Flavia Fleischer began her role as our new dean on Aug. 1 with a warm welcome from staff and faculty. She is the first Deaf woman to serve as dean of NTID and brings to the role deep experience in Deaf education, academic leadership, and student-centered program development. 

Dr. Fleischer will help guide the continued evolution of NTID’s academic programs while ensuring that students graduate with the technical skills, confidence, and leadership preparation needed for a changing workforce. If you haven’t yet met Dr. Fleischer, be sure to introduce yourself and offer your support as she begins this exciting new chapter with our college community.
