Tiger Collective: News from NTID and President Solomon
November 2025

International Education Outreach

Tommie Sarchet

We are in discussions to establish a faculty/research exchange to support Deaf education development in the Dominican Republic. We also hosted a delegation from the Communication Training Institute in Oman to discuss English language training for Deaf Omani students and to discuss potential partnership opportunities with the Oman government. 

For the second time, we partnered with University of Rochester’s Warner School of Education to host 21 Fulbright scholars who met with our faculty to observe best practices in Deaf education at NTID. Discussions are underway regarding additional collaborations.

Thoughts from President Solomon

October activities kept us all very busy – Brick City Homecoming, Alumni and Foundation board meetings, NAG meeting, the Career Fair, the Big Shot, the hilarious production of “The 39 Steps,” and of course, the inauguration. Thank you to all of you who participated and attended the ceremony. From the planning to the day itself and beyond, the warmth and positive energy that radiated in Panara and Dyer made the day a special one.
