Psychology Building, Room 230
Have you ever wondered what it would be like not to be able to communicate your thoughts, feelings, or ideas?
Communication is something many of us take for granted, but for the millions of individuals who have difficulty hearing, or those who have trouble speaking because they stutter or they have had a stroke, communication is not so simple.
The University of Memphis School of Communication Sciences and Disorders is nationally recognized for educating future audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and speech, language, or hearing scientists interested in helping individuals with such communication disorders.
Speakers from the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders will come talk about potential careers. This is a great opportunity to get advice from current grad students and network with like-minded peers.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
