Faculty
Through excellence in teaching, research and service, our faculty members work with students in and out of the classroom to engage and prepare them for successful careers in the health sciences. Our faculty members hold doctoral degrees from universities throughout the country and utilize a variety of teaching methods to provide an exceptional learning experience for students. Faculty members have extensive experience supervising award-winning, student-led research, which is presented at numerous national, regional and local conferences each year.
Faculty in the speech-language pathology and audiology program foster students' ability to understand and meet professional responsibilities by modeling respect and value for diversity. Students are encouraged to create and engage in practices that develop awareness, understanding, respect, and a valuing of the forms of diversity that exist in society and their importance in learning and working with a variety of individuals. Our faculty members are dedicated to supporting all students, regardless of economic or social status, and advocates for the rights of students free from discrimination based on race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, creed, religion, political belief, sex, sexual orientation, gender identification, ability or age.
