Uh, beside him, Dr. Andrea Mulligan of the School of Law, who's an expert in medical law and bioethics.

I'm the director for the Center for Deaf Studies, uh, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, so time has flown by very quickly.

Not many people working in Trinity realize that we're there, and they often find out about it by chance.
