Bison Legacy: Ronald and Brendan Stern
The Gallaudet University Athletics Department debuts a new
series titled “Bison Legacy” that will spotlight legacy
families that have a lineage to Gallaudet athletics. We want to
spotlight current Bison student-athletes and/or coaches and one of
their family members that participated in Gallaudet athletics
before them.
"There have been generations of families sending family members
here to Gallaudet for college. For some of those families, sports
play a role during their time at Gallaudet. We wanted to create a
feature to help spotlight the proud connection many GU families
have with athletics," said Gallaudet Athletic Director
Michael Weinstock.
