What Will I do?
Students in Speech and Hearing Science are prepared to make a difference in the lives of people with communication impairments, either through direct services or research.
AuD students provide annual training for the Marching Illini Bandmembers on how to protect their hearing and offer free hearing screenings for all band members. This is one of many examples of opportunities our students have outside of classes and clinic to help the community.

State of Illinois Telepractice Variance
