ASLU was founded by Dr. William G. Vicars, Ed.D. (Also widely known as "Dr. Bill"). He earned an accredited doctorate in Deaf Studies / Deaf Education from Lamar University in Texas and taught for nearly three decades including many years as a full-time Professor of American Sign Language and Deaf Studies at California State University - Sacramento. ("ASL University" is not affiliated with the California State University system.) Dr. Bill was born hard of hearing and became Deaf as he got older. He is married to Bee Vicars, MFA, Deaf.
I'm Dr. Bill. (Also known in some circles as "Indiana Bill" or "Professor V"). When not out having adventures I disguise myself as a mild mannered college professor at Sacramento State University in California.
I developed ASL University (hosted at Lifeprint.com) as a tool teach my college classes -- so I use the ASLU lessons and materials constantly. Making these resources available to the public has been a lot of fun (a lot of work, but a lot of fun). I'll be the first to tell you, ASLU (Lifeprint) isn't perfect, but hey if you are going to get anywhere you've got to start somewhere.
