The Department of Audiology & Speech Pathology Spring 2017

Annual Newsletter

IMPROVING LIFE’S CONNECTIONS Chair’s Message: A Bird’s Eye View Dear Friends , Each year about this time, I can hardly wait to share with you our annual newsletter, created entirely by Audiology & Speech Pathology (ASP) personnel. This is just one of many accomplishments by our hard-working faculty, staff, and students, who are committed to the mission of The University of Tennessee (UT): education, outreach, discovery, and public service . Everyday, ASP seamlessly integrates the four elements of our university’s mission with the ultimate goal of “Improving Life’s Connections.” Inside these pages, you will see how, time and again, academic and clinical faculty combine their knowledge and experience to bridge the gap between practice and research through education. This shared approach benefits our students by requiring them to question, learn, and apply evidence-based diagnosis and treatment techniques and ensures best practice for our patients. From a bird’s eye view, perhaps the greatest consequence is the professional growth, shared pride, and productivity among our faculty as we very intentionally cross-pollinate our ideas, curricula, clinics, and laboratories. The success of these collaborative and, often, interdisciplinary approaches is evident by the many publications, presentations, grants, awards, and invited engagements for academic and clinical faculty alike.

I am proud to be a part of this amazing group who represents UT and ASP so well at the local, state, national, and international levels. After you finish reading our newsletter, I am confident you will be, too! So sit back and enjoy, and next time you are in the area, please drop by for a visit. Your ASP family welcomes you anytime.
