Hi, I'm Paul Menkis. I teach the ASL and Deaf Studies courses. I started teaching at John A. Logan College in 1989. Before coming here, I taught at Gallaudet University in Washington D.C., and at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. I also worked for LaGuardia College in New York City.
I have a Master of Science degree in instructional technology and evaluation from the Rochester Institute of Technology, and a Master of Science in applied linguistics from New York University.
I also have RSC and CDI-P (Relay Skills Certification and Certificate of Deaf Interpretation - Provisional) from the National Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID).
I am the chair of the Illinois Deaf and Hard of Hearing Commission. I am also a member of the American Sign Language Teacher's Association and the Conference of Interpreter Trainers.
I grew up in New Mexico and attended the School for the Deaf in Santa Fe, New Mexico and the Oklahoma School for the Deaf. I got my BA degree from Gallaudet University.
