Mission: The purpose of the club is to stimulate and promote friendship and understanding between international students, immigrant-origin students, refugees, American students, and the community. The club meets twice a month; for time and location of the meetings, please visit our Facebook and Instagram pages during spring and fall semesters.
What is ASL Club? The ASL Club also seeks to educate and share the rich culture of the Deaf Community with the Modesto Community. In addition to functioning as a source of information on the Deaf Community, the Club hosts social. Examples of ASL Club-sponsored Events include playing games, monthly pizza night gatherings, and movie nights. The ASL Club also hosts a deaf panel.
Who can join? The ASL Club is open to all Modesto Junior College students. You do not have to be Deaf or fluent in ASL. Many club members are beginning students, and the club is a great place to meet others who sign and use ASL in a relaxed setting. The ASL Club is a good place for anyone interested in learning about Deaf culture. Deaf Americans have a rich and unique culture. Many members are from other countries and can tell you about the Deaf and hearing cultures of their countries. The ASL Club is as much about people and culture as it is about language.
