What are SVP Signs?
The Vestibule Program, established by NTID in 1969, started as a one year general education core (math, science, English, social studies) required of all students. Vestibule was meant to prepare the wide range of deaf students coming from all over the U.S. for later studies at RIT. The sign for “Vestibule” in the first year was a letter “V” on one hand tapping the pinky finger of the opposite hand.
