Signing Student Association
About SSA
SSA is an organization that welcomes everyone! All levels of signers are welcome, as well as those who would like to learn and are looking for a safe place to begin! Our goal is to make every individual feel safe and comfortable! We're thrilled to host fun events for everyone to enjoy outside of their classroom; interacting with the deaf community through various activities and community services and enhancing our signing skills! American Sign Language [ASL] Studies Program and American Sign Language/English Interpreting Program [AEIP] from UW-Milwaukee actively encourage all students to take advantage of this opportunity to learn about Deaf Culture and practice their signing skills!
Helping in Harmony
We create a new way to get more support from campus and outside of the community of Milwaukee. We are proud of having supporting from AEIP and ASL programs at UWM. We continue to have wonderful sponsors; Water Tower View (WTV), Greater Milwaukee Association of the Deaf (GMAD), Brew City Signer (BCS), and Wisconsin Association of the Deaf (WAD).
Our Future Looks Good
We welcome all students, staff, and community members to become involved. We'd also like to partner with other organizations on campus to come together and learn about each other and the communities within it. We thrive on making new friends and acquaintances while supporting each other using our native language, ASL!
