THANK YOU to this amazing group of SLPs for brainstorming how to create meaningful arts-based communication and participation opportunities for children on their caseloads.

THANK YOU to LU and Moravian students for creating a website of evidence for Yakima SD SLPs to inspire and support the integration of arts into school-based clinical practice!

✨ ASHA 2025 — Our Lamar University community shined this year — showcasing scholarship, leadership, and the future of communication sciences. 💬📚

👩‍🏫 Dr. Boult & Harvest Fairchild — Represented LU together and modeled strong faculty–student mentorship. This was Harvest’s first ASHA, where she stepped into national conversations on student scholarship and professional growth.

🗣️ Mrs. Chelsea Lyles & Monique Ge**er — Presented “Aphasia and Friendships: Perspectives from Significant Others.” Their qualitative work examined how friendships shift after aphasia — from shrinking social networks and communication challenges to emotional labor, grief, and the slow rebuilding of connection.

📚 Lynne Stevens, Karen Miranda, & Dr. Boult — Shared “Grow Your Own: Promoting CSD Careers to High School Students.” They highlighted a grassroots model for inspiring future audiologists and SLPs through early outreach, school partnerships, and mentoring programs that help build sustainable, diverse career pipelines.

🌍 Harvest Fairchild — Presented “Bridging Disciplines: Integrating Interprofessionalism into Modern Healthcare Education.” Her research advocates for collaboration across healthcare fields to support equity and improve patient outcomes. She led both virtual and in-person poster sessions.

🎓 Honoring excellence in research!

Harvest Prater, 2025 David J. Beck Fellow, traveled to Chicago this past summer for her fellowship at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab — U.S. News and World Report’s #1 Ranked Rehabilitation Hospital. There, she explored innovative diagnostic tools in aphasia service provision—supporting a randomized controlled trial on naming and oral reading assessment practices. Her work reflects the heart of Speech and Hearing Sciences: focus, empathy, excellence, and impact.
