Ashleigh Gauntner, a senior in the Department of Communication
Disorders, was awarded the Student Undergraduate Research
Fund (S.U.R.F.) for the maximum amount of $1,000 for the
research topic, "Parent Knowledge of Prelinguistic
Communication Development." This research will determine
parents' awareness of communication skills that develop before
children speak their first words. Understanding parents’
knowledge of prelinguistic communication development could
assist Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) in identifying children with communication delays at an earlier
age." This research will be presented at the Texas State University's Thesis Forum. Dr. Alisha Richmond is her
faculty mentor.

CDIS Star Student
Karen Boggs, a Communication Disorders senior, completed 300 hours of service through Capital Area Health Education Center. Capital AHEC is a state agency that focuses on community-based education for students interested in the health professions. Through Karen's participation 50 high school students received information and experience in the healthcare field.
When asked what made her want to participate in Capital AHEC Karen stated, "I wanted to participate in the Capital AHEC summer camps because it is a great opportunity for high schoolers to be exposed to different health fields and to learn about the different health professions that are offered. My favorite part about the program was going around San Marcos and Austin to talk with different health professionals about their jobs and how they got involved with what they are doing now." Karen's hard work and dedication was awarded with an Educational Stipend, which she can use to further her education.
