I came onboard in 2008 and revamped the curriculum. Although Tissa has been teaching in the program a long time before I joined, he was excited and eager to learn; he participated fully the discussions and ideas for the new curriculum. The ASL course expectations and outcomes were modified with new rubric developments added. Tissa took the initiative to modify Visual Gestural Communication (VGC) course syllabus to meet the new expectations and outcomes. Tissa's work on the curriculum and syllabus highly impressed me. Throughout the process, he was enthusiastic motivated and showed amazing initiatives and capabilities. Student evaluations were very positive. I am really pleased to have him and wishing a wonderful future on his journey.
