Withstanding childhood poverty in a migrant farming family and an illness in 1943 at age 11 that left him profoundly deaf, Robert R. Davila persevered to become one of the first deaf persons in history to earn a doctorate. He did so at a time when interpreting in higher education had not yet become a professional support service. Davila worked unfailingly to achieve positions of stature as vice president of Gallaudet University, the president of three major deaf education organizations, and the seeming culmination of his career as the highest appointed deaf official ever in the U.S.

"One of the greatest honors of being President of the United States is that you have the privilege of meeting and working with the best of the best in America. Certainly, Bob Davila is one of those ‘best’ who is an inspiration to all who know him. His story is proof that hard work, determination, and courage can overcome even life’s toughest challenges.”


-President George H. W. Bush 



"Bob Davila’s biography describes his truly meaningful academic and public service careers. I consider him a role model, not only for deaf and other disabled persons, but for all of us." 


-Lauro Cavazos, Ph.D., Former U.S. Secretary of Education
