Deaf Teacher Featured in Rocky Mountain News

Posted on February 4th, 2007 by admin

Susan Elliot, a deaf teacher, serves as a Hands & Voices board member and on the Gallaudet Board of Trustees. She was recently featured in the Rocky Mountain News: Massaro: After a Pal’s Suicide, She Chose Life.

I first met Susan via videophone last summer when we were scheduled to give a presentation together at a leadership workshop. It is quite a feat to pull off a presentation with someone you’ve never met before, but I enjoyed working with her.

Gotta love this quote in the article: “If Elliott ever engaged the battery rabbit in a competition, stretcher bearers would haul off the bunny by halftime.” It’s true– Susan has boundless energy!

Here’s what a former student has to say: Aspirations Encouraged by an Encounter With A Deaf Teacher.
