News & Announcements
​

Picture
The NSLDHH is happy to announce that we have a new board member.  First, we want to thank Heath Focken for his time serving on the board and wish him well with his new endeavor.

Let's welcome Kevin Boyce, a new board member.  Kevin Boyce is currently serving as a Lead Residential Counselor at the Iowa School for the Deaf where he has been a part of the Student Life Team for 10 years. Coming from a military family, Kevin attended mainstream school where he learned to adapt to new surroundings, overcome obstacles, and set and accomplish personal goals. A graduate from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Kevin holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with an emphasis in Human and Child Development. Straight out of high school, his work with youth began and currently spans across 20 years; which include Elementary Education, Childcare, Youth Sports, and mentoring. Now a veteran member of ISD’s Student Life Program, Kevin not only facilitates the daily running of the Boys’ Dormitory, but also directs the school’s Youth Recreational Sports Program, and co-directs the Summer Camp Program, which serves Deaf and HH students all across the state of Iowa and Nebraska. Kevin continues to strive for excellence in himself while role-modeling that dedication and determination for the students he works with. "Invest in our youth, because they are the currency of the future".


Announcements from the
NSLDHH Board Team about future conferences

NSLDHH community,

As expected we have to reschedule our NSLDHH conference that was planned for this summer in Indianapolis, Indiana due to COVID-19.

The NSLDHH board is now working to see if we can do webinars once a month from January through June.  CEASD is doing monthly webinars and we would like to do the same for Student Life.

Feel free to email me the topics you feel would benefit the Student Life community. 

We have a vlog from Matt Krueger, Director of Student Life at ISD (Indiana) about hosting the next conference in 2023. (Please check the video under the "Upcoming Conference")

Please take care and stay safe.
