What is the Gallaudet Promise?
It is a 10 year vision of transformation, beginning in 2020, continuing through 2030.
This vision of transformation uses three values [imperatives]
and daily work [priorities] in our process
This structure guides the University in supporting students work towards success,
and lift the lives of Deaf people across the spectrum of identities.
The Five Grand Challenges are transformational opportunities.
The University will show the intersectional Deaf Way to the world,
through innovative research and community building.
The method of researching and community building is a part of
Gallaudet’s role in retelling Deaf stories for the purpose of
advancing the lives of Deaf people across the spectrum of identities.
Five Grand Challenges include the following:
Demonstrating the benefits of an ASL/English education;
Expanding the impact of Gallaudet鈥檚 creative edge;
Realizing the value of Deaf people across the spectrum of identities;
Creating pathways to success for Gallaudet students and graduates;
Cultivating and producing opportunities in both ASL and English based economies.
What are the three imperatives?
These three imperatives are requirements led by values.
The requirements are part of our daily work,
in alignment with our strategic priorities.
The success of the three strategic priorities depends
on our mastery and integration of the imperatives.
We must continually model our values through innovation, here at Gallaudet.
We must practice the three imperatives
at all times, alongside our strategic priorities.
They include:
Bilingual Mission;
Commitment to Belonging and Equity;
Belief in Innovation for Impact;
What are the three priorities?
Our strategic daily work is driven by these 3 following imperatives:
Extraordinary Learning and Academic Excellence Across the Lifespan;
Knowledge Creation and Discovery;
Signing Ecosystems and Career Success.
How do we make The Gallaudet Promise a reality?
With the full participation of the Gallaudet community
contributing to work within a series of strategic plans.
The Phase One strategic plan is underway and continues through 2023.
This plan includes five areas:
Transformational Accelerators;
Antiracism;
Academic Reimagining; and
Creativity Way & Louise B. Miller Pathways and Gardens:
Legacy for Black Deaf Children.
How was the Gallaudet Promise developed?
Why is it important?
Endorsed by the Board of Trustees in 2019,
the Gallaudet Promise grew from the Gallaudet community.
Its goals, needs, and desires as well as the work
that happened during the most recent strategic plan.
The Gallaudet Promise is an important commitment to a path of transformation
that serves as a beacon
for the University communities鈥� values, work, and impact.
How do the Gallaudet Promise and Shared Community Values go together?
The Gallaudet Promise, as our vision and the related work in the Phase One Strategic Plan
are set upon a foundation of our Shared Community Values.
The values composed through community dialogues and review,
reflect how we learn, work, engage,
and grow together everyday as a community.
How does my work fit into the Gallaudet Promise?
The ultimate goal is that the work of every person
is linked to their department鈥檚 key initiatives,
while the department level is linked to their division priorities.
The divisions are then linked into the Gallaudet Promise
in a cyclical synergistic flow.
