March is Brain Injury Awareness Month 💚

Speech-language pathologists play a vital role in helping with communication, swallowing, memory, attention, and so much more.

We’re proud to be one of the professions supporting their recovery 💚

Textbooks and lectures are great, but nothing beats hands-on learning 🙌

This week, the dysphagia class spent time practicing clinical swallow assessments!

This week in CSD 420, students explored aphasia through a simulation activity. Each student received a scenario representing a different type of aphasia and practiced conversations with a partner, navigating the challenges of communication while trying out supportive strategies. 🧠💬

We headed west 🚗 to Divide County High School in Crosby, and every mile was worth it.

We loved chatting with sophomores and juniors about speech pathology- great students, great questions, and a great day!

Congratulations to Dr. Robyn Walker on the publication, co-authored with Dr. Casey Ozaki. 👏🏼

Our first article feature for 2026 comes from Robyn Walker and Casey Ozaki; "Assessing Learning in Simulation Learning Experiences in Graduate Programs for Speech-Language Pathology: A Phenomenological Study." When asked the best part about incorporating these experiences into classroom learning, Walker stated that, "Simulation based learning experiences (SBLEs) provide learners with a structured, supportive environment that approximates real-world professional practice, while minimizing the risk to clients and students alike. SBLEs offer students the opportunity to engage with theory and content from academic coursework and apply it in authentic decision-making, problem-solving, and professional communication prior to entering their clinical practicums. Additionally, SBLEs align well with competency-based education by providing observable evidence of skill development and clinical competence."

We spy an Eagle Award winner 👀🦅 Congrats to Katelyn on this well-earned recognition!

Katelyn always goes above and beyond for her students in the communication sciences and disorders program at MSU. One family says she has been a blessing, helping their son grow and find his voice through language. Their son’s success is because of her care, encouragement, and genuine dedication.

First-year grads caught up with a few CSD faculty to get to know the people behind the program… should we make this a series? 👀
