William Woods Students, Faculty, and Staff

Jessica Brown, an Assistant Professor of American Sign Language and a member of the ASL faculty at WWU for five years, passed the national CDI exam earlier this year and in doing so became one of only 219 Certified Deaf Interpreters in the United States. She also became the only nationally Certified Deaf Interpreter in the state of Missouri. The accomplishment for Brown was a goal for her that was more than 15 years in the making.

Dr. Stephan Forsha, Associate Provost for Graduate Programs at WWU, was chosen as one of 34 participants for Leadership Missouri 2023, the premiere leadership development program offered by the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Leadership Missouri is designed to enhance the leadership skills of current and emerging leaders through an in-depth exploration of the state’s economic, political and social issues.
