ACSD member Anthony DeFranco, an ASL Professor at Atlantic Cape Community College, was recently spotlighted by the college for his work commemorating Deaf History Month.


In March, DeFranco hosted a presentation on Deaf history in America — from the founding of the American School for the Deaf in 1817 to the present — at Atlantic Cape's Innovation Center in Mays Landing.


A Gallaudet University graduate and Atlantic Cape faculty member since December 2023, DeFranco has been a strong advocate for Deaf culture and awareness in the college community.
