The Vols helped celebrate the International Day of the Deaf by welcoming a large group of students from Knoxville’s Tennessee School for the Deaf out to the match, where American Sign Language interpreters were on hand. UT posted a great video yesterday featuring Claudia Coco, Breana Jeter, and Mackenzie Cooler who talk about their studies of ASL, the deaf people in their lives that inspired them to learn more, and why they were excited for the students to come out to the match.

My father worked at TSD for fifteen years. It was always cool when going to the campus to visit, help him with his computer, or bring my kids over for lunch, to get to see the wonderful community they have there. And it was great to see all the Vikings in attendance at the match! Hopefully, this is an event that will become a new tradition at UT.
