The CSDR Alumni Association proudly announces the first CSDR History Book

CSDRAA appointed Kevin Struxness, '76 to become the editor of the CSDR history book.   CSDRAA is proud to have contracted Laurent Clerc Press (a deaf-owned firm) to publish and distribute the school history books in the U.S. and abroad.   CSDRAA plans to set aside a certain amount of the proceeds from the book for the establishment of CSDR Alumni Association Museum on campus in the near future.
