University Diplomas That Amaze

Some extraordinary college information came our way recently.  It has to do with Gallaudet University, a school for the deaf in Washington, D.C.  From 1869, when Ulysses S. Grant was President, right through today, diplomas have been signed by the sitting President of the U.S.!  Not only that, but because the University is celebrating its 150th anniversary of the founding of the school, it has been collecting diplomas to put in its archives.  The University also observed its 144th Commencement.

We are proud to partner with the Bison Shop, the official retailer at the University, and to create museum-quality, USA-made diploma frames - http://www.diplomaframe.com/gall/store.aspx for their graduates and families.

More details are in the blog - 150th Anniversary and an Amazing Diploma Tradition at Gallaudet University - at this link: http://www.diplomaframe.com/blog/tabid/178/entryid/375/150th-Anniversary-and-an-Amazing-Diploma-Tradition-at-Gallaudet-University.aspx
