Deaf Chinese Woman Experiences First Baseball Game

6 Sep

“Growing up in America and playing baseball, I found it fascinating that I’d be able to take someone to a ballgame for the first time in their life,” said Michael Walton, CPSO’s Publishing and Marketing Coordinator.  Walton enjoyed a fun-filled evening with his friend, Yiqiao Wang, a media design major at Gallaudet, at a Washington Nationals game this past August.

Neither Wang nor her parents have seen each other since she moved to Washington in 2005 to attend Gallaudet.  “In addition to  showing Yiqiao the game of baseball, I thought it would be fun to share the experience on the web so her parents could see her,” he said.

In addition to studying for her degree (she’s on schedule to graduate in 2009), Wang also works on special projects for CPSO, performing high-quality design work for CPSO’s various publications.
