Truman CMDS Students Visit the Capitol
February 22nd, 2010
On February 16th a group of graduate students from the Communication Disorders program at Truman State University visited the Capitol. Their instructors Melissa Passe and Andrea Richards traveled to Jefferson City with the group. I introduced them on the House floor as my special guests and stressed the importance of their services to Missourians as speech language professionals.
The Master of Arts in Communication Disorders Program aims to prepare speech-language pathologists who will serve all people with communication disorders. The program provides students who have a strong foundation in liberal arts and sciences with advanced academic, research, and clinical opportunities designed to help them acquire professional knowledge, skills, and values consistent with excellence in the field.
It was nice to visit with them and express my appreciation of their desire to understand the legislative process and to attempt to influence issues that will affect their practices and their lives.
