I have a question, I hope you can help me. I'm attending a community college and taking sign language. In my workbook there's a question I can't find. Here's the question: Who signs the diploma when student's graduate from Gallaudet? If you can help me on this question I will be very grateful. I have to turn it in Tuesday. Thank You, Jody
