Getting to Know Your Athletes Vol. 03
 The Buff and Blue Our very own Gallaudet University freshman middle/outside hitter Kali Frowick came to Washington, D.C. from Norfolk High School in Nebraska with an impressive volleyball resume. Frowick has made an immediate impact in her first season with the Lady Bison volleyball team stepping into the starting lineup. In her first year, she has already racked up [...]Mon, Feb 06 2012 Bald Day 2012
The Buff and Blue For those who aren’t really aware of what Bald Day is, it is a “tradition” here at Gallaudet University. The quotation marks are there because students consider it a tradition, but members of the Faculty and Staff of Gallaudet do not. Up until three years ago, bald day was banned on campus and students had [...]Wed, Feb 01 2012 To Write Love on Her Arms
The Buff and Blue Did you see your fellow friends walking around with “love” written on their arms on November 29 and wondered why? It was a special event called “To Write Love on Her Arms” (TWLOHA) which is a non-profit movement to help people who are struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. The event was brought to [...]Thu, Dec 08 2011 Lead On!

Elena Ruiz, a graduate assistant at the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), said that it went very well and the attendees were eager for more. Lead On! is the [...]Mon, Dec 05 2011 The meaning of family
The Buff and Blue Family. A word that has existed for a long, long time and one that has changed indefinitely over time. The saying “blood is thicker than water” often explains it all, but to me, family can mean many things. Being on a football team and playing together for a long time or having a bunch of [...]Mon, Nov 28 2011 Gallaudet University secures recognition on metro station...
The Buff and Blue Good news! The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority issued a news release on November 3, 2011 regarding the metro station name change for New York Ave-Florida Ave-Gallaudet U metro stop. And, the verdict is? Gallaudet University will remain on the metro station name! For the last month or so, one of the biggest controversies revolved [...]Mon, Nov 07 2011 What color is Buff, anyway?
The Buff and Blue As we all know, Gallaudet University's school colors are Buff and Blue. However, the sneaky Yellow always figures out how to tiptoe its way into pictures of students dressed in Buff and Blue. The “yellow and blue” seems to be the trend here and I can show that with an example. The newest Blue Hole [...]Mon, Nov 07 2011 SBG fights to keep Gallaudet on the metro map
The Buff and Blue Not long ago, the Gallaudet community found out that the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) is considering changing the New York Ave-Gallaudet University metro station's name.

The Buff and Blue Username: Technology Password: Hand/Deaf Interacted Technological Devices Today there’s voice recognition on mobile devices, where you can speak to it and demand it to do things for you without you lifting a finger.

The Buff and Blue You know you’ve begun a new chapter in your life once you leave home for Gallaudet. Getting to know the environment surrounding you, discovering campus resources, and meeting new people are quite fun. Even the parties too! This is what makes your college experience incredibly fun and complete by socializing with people. Parties are one [...]Mon, Oct 31 2011 nTouch: was it worth the wait?
The Buff and Blue The days of frustration and the desire to rip out your Sorenson VP200 are over! Yes, we all have heard of the newly released product; the nTouch! But how much better was this product than its predecessor? With absolutely no experience beforehand, I stepped into the videophone booth in SAC and took it for a [...]Mon, Oct 31 2011 Construction of LLRH6 presents unexpected consequences
The Buff and Blue Walk into the library and go down the stairs. Straight ahead are display cases, a table in the center, and shelves to the left and right. Each contains items like pictures, artifacts and people. One case exhibits Olof Hanson’s work and life as a deaf architect, one of the first in his field. All of these [...]Tue, Oct 25 2011 The future of captioned films
The Buff and Blue By the end of the year 2012, there will be no more captioned films in theaters. Now, before you grab your picket signs, read the rest of the article; there are improvements made from this. A such improvement is captioned glasses. What are captioned glasses, you may ask? These so-called captioned glasses are a piece [...]Mon, Oct 24 2011 The Twaddle of the District
The Buff and Blue Will Gallaudet University suffocate under an invisibility cloak when a tourist steps into the grid of Washington, DC public transportation system? That is possible. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) is considering establishing a policy that pushes to avoid sprawling station names. With the incoming new lines, the signs for each station will be...Mon, Oct 24 2011 Color-Blind: Why diversity is everyone’s responsibility
The Buff and Blue This year, one of my goals is to become more active in student organizations, and to actually do something about my strong sense of social justice and my support of diversity. So through signing up for some organizations, I found out about “Lead On!”: a Student Diversity training workshop hosted through a partnership between the [...]Mon, Oct 24 2011 Steve Jobs & Me
The Buff and Blue On October 5th, 2011, a visionary as well as my childhood idol left this world. The co-founder and former CEO of Apple Inc., Steve Jobs, lost a very long battle with cancer and died just a day after Apple announced the next generation of the iPhone. I shouldn’t be too surprised... After all, Jobs was [...]Mon, Oct 17 2011 Students disappointed with Gallaudet’s new logo redesigns
The Buff and Blue Vestigia Nulla Retrorsum. The words, which mean “No Stepping Back”, are engraved on the side of the Tower Clock on campus. Gallaudet’s Tower Clock is steeped in the rich history of the campus, and led the Logo Redesign Committee to choose four logos with this recurring theme. The Tower Clock was one of the first [...]Mon, Oct 17 2011 Massive Flooding at Benson Hall Displaces Residents
The Buff and Blue On Sunday, October 9th, over two hundred students could be seen marching to the GUKCC hotel with bags of clothes. Those students had to grab what they could from their rooms and walked towards the hotel with spare possessions on their backs. The residents were forced to relocate due to the massive flooding at Benson [...]Fri, Oct 14 2011 Gallaudet Crowds To Watch Bison TV’s Crowded
The Buff and Blue It’s Thursday night, October 6. Normally a slow night, however, the Student Academic Center (SAC) theatre room was brimming with bodies and intrigue. Bison TV’s kick-off night showcased all the upcoming shows on Channel 2, including a new season of Bison’s Next Top Model, Voice of Gallaudet, and Crowded. Each promotional clip showed the new-found [...]Mon, Oct 10 2011 Does History Repeat Itself?
The Buff and Blue A winless season… No one ever wants to see his or her team winless for an entire season, let alone a stretch longer than a season. Unfortunately, not one but both of our Gallaudet’s men and women soccer team is in this ugly rut. The men’s team has gone 0-8 as of October 5th, only [...]Mon, Oct 10 2011 Sorenson Unveils ntouch VP at Gallaudet
The Buff and Blue Ten years ago, Pat Nola, the president and CEO of Sorenson, had never dreamed that Sorenson would become the company it is today. Nola explained he knew he had a vital device when at an expo, his booth was in the back and really small yet 200-400 people still found his booth. That is when [...]Fri, Oct 07 2011 A Night of Mistakes
The Buff and Blue The Gallaudet Men’s Soccer team endured a hiatus in their game schedule, after two games were rescheduled due to unpleasant weather from Hurricane Irene.

Apparently, not one [...]Mon, Sep 26 2011 Set Your Sights on Sarah Tubert
The Buff and Blue The setter for the Gallaudet University women’s volleyball team practices every afternoon for five days a week with her team.

Even more [...]Mon, Sep 26 2011 Battle of the Bison Quarterbacks
The Buff and Blue Being the quarterback for an university has always been a prestigious athletic position and it is no different here at Gallaudet University.

Many people may wonder why we need to develop a [...]Thu, Sep 22 2011 Dramatic Changes: Gallaudet Theatre
The Buff and Blue If you’re not a Gallaudet Theatre Arts major yet, think about switching! In the past few years, the Gallaudet Theatre Arts Department (TAD) has seen quite a few changes. The newest one is Ethan Sinnott beginning his first semester as Chair of the Department this fall.Tue, Sep 20 2011 Partying: The Vital Aspect of Gallaudet
The Buff and Blue Hello and welcome to Gallaudet University. I don't know what kind of student you are, and quite frankly, I don't give a damn. I don't care if your highest priority is to study hard and earn top marks in every course or if you're passionate about pursuing the “personal growth” that every college student is [...]Mon, Sep 19 2011 The Forgotten Sport
The Buff and Blue After the football game concluded last week, I began to realize something was missing. I felt there was something stopping me from fulfilling my fan experience as a student here.

This [...]Mon, Sep 19 2011 Does ADA encourage shutting down Deaf Schools?

The Buff and Blue On August 23rd at 1:51 P.M., Gallaudet trembled. Literally. A 5.9 magnitude earthquake rocked Washington, District of Columbia.

Some thought it was a machine drill going on [...]Sat, Aug 27 2011 Groundbreaking ceremony for new dorm, LLRH6, takes place

The Buff and Blue When the opposing athletic teams of Gallaudet University play against other colleges, they are used to playing against teams consisting of mostly, if not all, hearing players. The same thing can’t be said for when Gallaudet's opposing athletic teams play against us, and that is because Gallaudet is the only university in the country that [...]Mon, May 16 2011 Gallaudet’s hidden crisis: racism
The Buff and Blue Lately, I’ve been sensing a different sort of tension at Gallaudet. Racism. This word can evoke an array of images of appalling, stomach-turning incidents predating the Civil Rights Movement — separate drinking fountains, whites at the front of the bus; black people at the back, segregated schools, and so on. But I wonder how many [...]Wed, May 04 2011 Gallaudet administrators clarify their stance on house...
The Buff and Blue When it comes to off-campus house parties being canceled, students automatically point their fingers at Gallaudet University for their wrong doings when they are strictly following what is clearly stated in the students' Code of Conduct. “If a party was canceled, it was canceled by the host, not the University,” clarified Dwight Benedict, Gallaudet&#...Mon, Apr 25 2011 Gehman studies at Siena School, Italy
