Description: 
This presentation is a review of our project that has been grant funded by a CU Community Impact Grant. At the time of the symposium, the class that we are sponsoring will have concluded. We'd like to review how the class/project went along with an overview of the impacts of the project. Here is the description of our project: "At the heart of CU Boulder's longstanding commitment to community impact lies our project, Sign Connections: Empowering Colorado Communities through ASL and Deaf Culture. Our initiative, in collaboration with the Colorado Association of the Deaf, exemplifies CU Boulder's ethos of outreach and engagement. By creating and offering a free and comprehensive ASL crash course, we hope to empower rural and urban community members while fostering inclusive connections and advocating for the civil rights of Deaf individuals. Grounded in linguistic and cultural scholarship along with strategic partnerships, our project aligns with CU Boulder's mission to address public needs and strengthen relationships across Colorado."
