DPN: A profile of Tim Rarus

Tim Rarus, '88

Tim Rarus, a government major from Arizona, was the most politically experienced of the "Gallaudet four," the students who quickly rose to leadership positions during the DPN protest. The other three were Greg Hlibok, Jerry Covell, and Bridgetta Bourne. As the outgoing Student Body Government president, he had served on the search committee for the new president of Gallaudet and so was well-versed in the events that led up to DPN.

Rarus has always been remembered as one of the most outspoken students. Bourne said this of him in a 1988 newspaper interview: "He always chooses the strongest words. He's not afraid of anyone."

He currently works for the Communication Service for the Deaf in Texas.
