Communication Disorders Program Celebrates 45 Years of Help with Speech, Hearing

MURFREESBORO—The MTSU Communication Disorders Program will celebrate its 45th anniversary with an open house from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28, on the second floor of the Boutwell Dramatic Arts Building.

“The purpose of the open house is to familiarize the community with the facilities and services offered in the MTSU Speech Language Hearing Clinic,” says Dr. Bertha Clark, professor in the Department of Health and Human Performance.

The clinic, a nationally recognized facility, provides speech, language and hearing services to young children through individuals in the geriatric age range. Under faculty supervision, MTSU communication-disorders majors provide many of the services.

As part of the celebration, free hearing screenings and speech therapy will be offered during the open house.

For more information, contact Eileen Chalmers, clinic administrative assistant, at 615-898-2661.
