FEATURES 'Stone gets feet wet at WMC By SARAH SNELl, Staf!Wriler WMC has welcomed several new faces to the campus this year, one of which is Rachel E. Stone, assistant professor of deaf education. Stone has been teaching in the field of deaf education for over 18 years at schools in Washington, D.C. and Indiana. When asked about her age, she replies that she is "old enough to teach." Stone is married to Ray Harris and has three daughters, Raychelle, 22, Raylene, 20, and Rayanne, 17. The idea of the unusual -... names came from her husband's common name. She enjoys teaching because of the dis- cussions she has with students. She stressed that teaching is a two-way communication. Stone received her bachelor of arts in art history from Gallaudet and her master's de- gree in deaf education from WMC. She de, scribes herself as "a history buff" who en- joys art, but her goals changed as she fur-v, thered her education. Art history is not a common subject at deaf schools, and she hopes her interest will start more programs. She is currently working on her doctoral thesis about perceptions of leadership behav- ior by staff of selected residential schools for the deaf, which will complete her doc- toral degree in special education adminis- tration from Gallaudet. She says her great- ~ est difficulty in achieving her degree has been keeping her commitment, and interrup- New assistant professor of deaf education Rachel Stone plans on using her skills al WMC. tions that have occurred along the way. c l Her hobbies include reading a variety of books, walking, hiking, and "getting my feet ~IDaria's wet atWMC."
