Speech Pathology & Audiology
Training Speech and Hearing Professionals and Serving the Community!

We depend on the generous support of our community partners, alumni, and friends to help us provide hands-on, real-world training to our students, in their service of the communication and swallowing needs of people from around central Indiana and beyond. Your donation to our general fund (#8305), will support and advance the speech-language pathology and pre-audiology undergraduate programs as well as the Master of Speech Language Pathology and Doctor of Audiology graduate programs.  The programs include nearly 300 students, who provide services to over 2700 clients through our speech and audiology clinics each year. Your donations will aid faculty in creating unique learning experiences in the classroom, in our clinics and in the community. Take a moment, to check out some of the important work our students and faculty have been doing together over this last year...and thank you for your support!
