Tonight, Friday July 7th, we witnessed the last-ever Miss Deaf America Ambassador Program Finals! The event started at seven o'clock but the line was already long at six with very eager fans of family, friends and attendees. The stage was beautifully lit up with colorful lights and had two large screens on both ends of the stage creating a very professional and exciting feel to the event.

She was gleaming with pride when she announced several award winners as they took the stage.

It was also a reminder to embrace diversity and recognize valuable skills and contributions of every NAD member. We had a chance to chat with a few people about their experience at the NAD Conference.

RIT Breakfast

The Hyatt Regency Ballroom slowly filled early in the morning at 7:00am and featured a slideshow showing very recent photos of the NTID portion of RIT and recent graduates (one being former RIT SBG president, Greg Pollock) with their parents. The breakfast featured a buffet to which the attendees helped themselves to. Gerald Buckley then stepped on stage to express his thanks to the guests and NAD for their support.

We asked two people two questions:
