A regular feature of On the Green (http://pr.gallaudet.edu/otg), a publication for Gallaudet University faculty and staff, the Clerc Center Happenings column in October describes the Clerc Center uniting on September 11 as the country was struck by terror. The article highlights the efforts of Clerc Center teachers and staff and others from around Gallaudet who worked together to communicate with parents and meet the needs of students. The article can be read at: http://clerccenter.gallaudet.edu/Clearinghouse/Happenings/crisis.html.

Another Clerc Center Happenings article describes the new Eagle Center, located near the Star Gallery at the Model Secondary School for the Deaf. The Eagle Center is completely student-run and will be used for recreation and as a meeting place; it replaces the former snack bar that was located in Residence Hall B.
