COE to celebrate Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic's 35th
anniversary
 For 35 years, the College of Education's
Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic has served hundreds of people with communication
disorders while preparing COE students to become speech-language pathologists.
Now, it's time to celebrate.
The clinic invites the university community and
metro-Atlanta residents to a number of events and activities Sept. 20-23 in the
College of Education building (30 Pryor St., Atlanta) to celebrate the clinic's
35th anniversary.
"The anniversary celebrations will give us the chance to
reflect on where we've been and discuss where we see ourselves headed in the
future," said Debra Schober-Peterson, the clinic's director. "We'll be able to
share all the good works we've done for so many years."
The clinic, which opened in 1975 in the Urban Life Building
at Georgia State University, allows students studying to become speech-language
pathologists to work with patients on articulation and stuttering, using the
correct words in the right context and other issues. The clinic moved to the
eighth floor of the College of Education building in 1994 and offers its
services to students, faculty, staff and the metro-Atlanta community.
The week-long celebration will kick off Monday, Sept. 20
with a panel discussion on the history of the clinic with former faculty and
staff members. On Tuesday, Sept. 21, the college's monthly Doughnuts with the
Dean will feature information about the clinic, door prizes and a drawing for
free clinic services. Speech-language specialist Lyn Turkstra from the
University of Wisconsin-Madison will give a presentation at the COE's weekly
Research Wednesdays series on Sept. 22. All of these activities lead up to the
clinic's open house on Sept. 23, complete with demonstrations of how the
students and faculty work with clients.
