Happy Giving Tuesday, SHS Lobos, alumni, patients, and friends!

Today’s the day when people all over the world pause, breathe, and say, “Okay… who can I help today?” 💙

Here in Speech & Hearing Sciences, we’re endlessly proud of our students. Our future clinicians are juggling classes, clinic hours, research, and life. So, this year, we’re inviting our community to lift them up in a BIG way—with a surprisingly small lift.

👉 If every alum from the past 10 years gave just $10, we could provide food for our graduate students AND provide cost-of-living scholarships for about 5 students.
Yes—ten dollars. Less than a movie ticket. Definitely less than parking on campus.
And…

👉 If each person we served in our clinic this year contributed $5, our ability to support our students would TRIPLE.
(This is cheaper than a co-pay and way less painful than drinking barium for your swallow study 😉).

It’s amazing how small acts of generosity build huge opportunities.
Help us nourish our students—literally and figuratively—and keep our community strong.

Thank you for being part of the Lobo pack! 🐺💙
