The Department of Audiology & Speech Pathology 2019 Newsletter

IMPROVING LIFE’S CONNECTIONS Letter from the Directors Dear Friends, It is our pleasure to share with you the annual Audiology and Speech Pathology (ASP) newsletter. Created by our dedicated personnel, it proudly showcases many ways in which our department combines classroom teaching, the most current clinical approaches, and cutting-edge interdisciplinary research to further the mission of the university. In today’s rapidly changing world, human communication remains critical. The need and desire to serve those with communicative disorders has never been greater. ASP is rising to all challenges to “Improve Life’s Connections.” Beginning with our incredible students who are the forefront of our department’s successes, our influences on the field of communication disorders become obvious every time we enter a classroom, clinical environment, research lab, or even when simply walking through our facilities. Perhaps not surprisingly, our presence is not contained within the walls of our department. What follows helps to demonstrate how ASP continues to serve the Knoxville community and beyond, with our students and faculty becoming nationally and internationally renowned. We hope you enjoy reading this year’s newsletter. Sincerely,

Patrick Plyler, PhD Professor Program Director in Audiology
