Kevin Karneboge serves UGA’s Deaf and hard of hearing communities

For Kevin Karneboge, American Sign Language isn’t just about communication. It’s about access and advocacy.

“Deafness is a medical thing, but really it’s the missing out of information,” he said. “With a little foresight, it doesn’t have to be that way.”

As assistant director of deaf and hard of hearing services for the Disability Resource Center in the Division of Student Affairs, Karneboge coordinates and supervises a variety of programs and aids for those communities at the University of Georgia.
