Undergraduate students in Dr. Curro’s CD 401 Advanced Directed Observation class wrapped up the semester with a celebratory potluck! After a semester of learning about therapy and SOAP notes, these students are ready for the next step: graduate school and jobs!

Our graduate students in CD 920 Speech Sound Disorders also concluded their semester with final presentations and joined in on the potluck fun.

A wonderful way to celebrate growth across both programs!

🌟Feature Friday🌟This week, we are featuring second year MS-SLP Graduate Student, Liz Costanzo! After graduation, Liz is interested in working with adult clients in a medical setting. However, she is excited to get more clinical experience with different populations to find her niche. A fun fact about Liz is that she enjoys hiking in the woods with her husky shepard, named Kozy (aka Kozer)! We hope you had a great semester, Liz!
