Inspiring New Possibilities

The ASL program at MPC has really taught me so much and has inspired me to become better with signing and I am more involved in the Deaf community because of it. Thanks to MPC’s faculty, I want to continue studying ASL and I can actually, for the first time in my college career, see myself transferring to a higher education.
