Paula (Rosenberg) Bell
Paula (Rosenberg) Bell (DGE’72, SED’74) of Norwich, Conn., has retired after 39 years as a teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing. After graduating from BU, Paula earned her MEd at the University of Virginia in 1975 and taught in the Richmond, Va., public schools for nine years before moving home to Connecticut with her husband, Chris. She taught in the Connecticut public schools for the next 30 years. Among her many successes, she is most proud of helping to establish three high school American Sign Language programs in Connecticut: at Montville High School and Palmer Academy in Montville and at Robert E. Fitch High School in Groton. She continues to teach American Sign Language as an adjunct for Quinebaug Valley Community College in Danielson, Conn., and Three Rivers Community College in Norwich, Conn. Paula and Chris look forward to traveling, “especially now that it doesn’t have to be during a school vacation!”
