Cornwell
is the coordinator of the American Sign Language (ASL) program. She
has taught all four levels of ASL. Each year she also teaches a beginning
level ASL course through the Continuing Studies Program. As the daughter
of Deaf parents, she has a personal interest in Deaf culture. As one
of Indiana's few certified interpreters, she is frequently called upon
to facilitate communication between people who are Deaf and those who
hear who do not have ASL skills. Interpreting in situations ranging
from the birth of a baby to IU's Commencement services, Cornwell works
to break through communication barriers that often exist between Deaf
and hearing individuals.
