Heather Whitestone McCallum was humbled as she modestly accepted the warm applause from the students at Northeastern University. Although, it wasn’t as loud as one might expect. This is because the speech McCallum gave was delivered to the university’s deaf community where the sign for applause is the raising and shaking their hands.

McCallum was the first crown Miss America in the pageant’s 75-year history. Since winning her title ten years ago, McCallum has been on a mission. She has traveled across the nation inspiring others to reach for their dreams. McCallum’s travels recently lead her to Northeastern University where she spoke to students and faculty, both deaf and hearing, about her experiences and her accomplishments.
