Are you looking for information on professional development
opportunities? Are you searching for assistance in planning
programs or workshops? Or are you seeking technical assistance
related to the education of deaf and hard of hearing students?
Gallaudet University Regional Centers (GURCs) are available
to assist you.
Established in 1980, this Northeast Region GURC, located
on the campus of Northern
Essex Community College-Haverhill, brings the resources
of the world's only liberal arts university for deaf and
hard of hearing people, Gallaudet
University, to Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
GURCs offer training workshops, technical assistance,
and extension courses and coordinate the annual Regional
High School Academic Bowl competitions. GURCs address the
educational, transition, and professional development needs
of deaf and hard of hearing people from birth through adulthood,
their families, and the professionals who work with them.

Extension Courses
In partnership with Gallaudet University, the GURC offers
extension courses (as permitted by state regulations) for
deaf and hard of hearing people, their families, and the
professionals who work with them. The courses provide a
unique opportunity to study with recognized experts in such
fields as American Sign Language Linguistics, Deaf Studies,
Deaf Education, and Interpreting. These courses are coordinated
through the GURC, often in collaboration with sponsoring
agencies serving deaf and hearing communities. Sponsoring
agencies can be schools for deaf students, special education
school districts, interpreter training programs, or professional
organizations.
