Outreach at Gallaudet.
Marshall, William J. A.; And Others
Ways in which Gallaudet College has used innovative approaches in its outreach services during times of scarce resources are discussed. Gallaudet's outreach programs provide a range of services and advocacy to hearing-impaired populations, nationally and internationally. Outreach efforts are distinguished by their people-to-people focus, which also can lead to a fragmented and inefficient service delivery system. Gallaudet has established an Outreach Coordinating Council in order to build coherence and diminish fragmentation, achieve coordination among the various operating units without replacing their administrative functions, and increase the general efficiency and effectiveness of the outreach mission. The primary purpose of the Outreach Coordinating Council is to coordinate the establishment of policy in matters pertaining to the outreach roles. Outreach efforts of the college include Pre-College Programs, including a Model Secondary School for the Deaf and the College of Continuing Education. Institution-wide outreach services include the Visitor's Center, the International Center, and alumni and community relations. The composition and functions of the Outreach Coordinating Council are outlined. (SW)
