Purdue Profiles:
Karen Donah

As a college student, Karen Donah learned American Sign Language (ASL) so she could better communicate with her sister, who is deaf. The more Donah learned about the language and culture of deaf and hard-of-hearing people, though, the more she realized that she has a passion for teaching others about those topics. Now, as a continuing lecturer and coordinator of American Sign Language at Purdue North Central, Donah teaches ASL and helps bridge the gap between American Sign Language users and those who wish to communicate with and learn from them.
