The public university based in Monmouth is now expanding on that work by offering two new certificates for American Sign Language aimed at professionals who might work with state agencies, and in educational or community settings. The university says the certificates will be the first of their kind in the region.

As someone who also got their start at EW, this is such a major bummer.
There are *so many* journalists that got their start at the EW (me included). The importance of that kind of opportunity for young reporters in a J-school college town can't be overstated.
