Ask Me Anything

You asked, and I’m answering! Here are a few of our students’ most burning questions.

Admissions

Admissions has wrapped up the Fall 2025 class and begun planning for the new recruitment cycle, and our counselors are ready to hit the road now and begin work to enroll our class for next fall.

Outreach Consortium

We successfully conducted five on-campus summer programs this year, serving more than 230 students.

International Education Outreach

We welcomed 11 new deaf international students this fall, including three into the Master of Science in Deaf Education program, and finalized an agreement between NTID, Fulbright Italy, and the Wirth Foundation to support Italian students taking coursework and research in deaf education.

NTID College Operations

We completed several construction and technology upgrade projects and are in the planning stages of several others in Carey and LBJ Halls.

Office of External Affairs

NTID private fundraising attainment is on track to reach our $1.8M FY26 fundraising goal. Our office is leading or contributing to 20+ events and activities in the coming weeks.

Access Services

Access Services conducted a satisfaction survey to NTID faculty/staff and students at the end of the spring semester.

Academic/Curricular Affairs

The CAAS department moved to offices in each academic department with the goal of seeing students more regularly. The NTID Center on Workforce Development (NCWD) supported a 10-day NTID Battery Storage Technician Bootcamp and is currently supporting the Certificate in International Sign Interpreting.

Government Relations and Financial Operations

We have established a relationship with new federal Department of Education contacts and have kept the FY25 funding flowing and on time.
