The Communication Disorders Graduate Program at UMass Amherst prepares students to enter the workforce as highly competent Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists. Achieving this level of clinical competency requires much dedication from both students and faculty. Not only does it involve countless hours of academic classes, observations, and clinical work, it also requires constant drive and a strong worth ethic! The Center for Language, Speech and Hearing is growing our clinic and your donations will allow us to supplement and enhance our technological support for our students.Technology is expensive and constantly changing and your donation will directly support our deserving and hard-working grad students!
Please consider donating! All proceeds will go directly towards new technology for our Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology clinics! If you are interested in learning more about our campaign, follow us on social media platforms, or visit our website! If you are an alum, we would love to hear from you—let us know what you are up to these days! If you remember what it feels like to be a grad student (and whoever really forgets what it’s like?!), feel free to send words of encouragement to our current grad students when you make your donation! :)
