Writing retreat

3/9/2025

Just got back from a four-day writing retreat with Kimberly Hale, Lisa Sullivan, and three others from far and wide. Worked on revisions for my Word/Voice Gender paper and finished my IRB application for a new SoTL study about my Deaf Lived Experience research/honors course. A very productive getaway!

Two President's Fellows grant applications

1/14/2025

Working with collaborators on two projects, we recently submitted two proposals for the OSU President's Fellows Faculty Research Award: Megan Macken led one for our DXDX project, and I worked with postdoc Lisa Sullivan and TESOL/Linguistics prof Nicole Tracy-Ventura on a second for Lisa's app on our prevelar merger mapping project. Both projects need some computer science expertise to complete our database and app.

December Graduations

12/15/2024

Three of my lab students and about 20 other majors graduated this fall. DXDX Project Social Media Manager Kallie Chapman will be going on to grad school in counseling next year, and Lead Recruiter and Scheduler Sophie Ernst and annotator Sarah Albert will go on to grad school in speech-language pathology next year. They'll get a well-deserved break while waiting for admissions news this spring!

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) convention was held in Seattle this year. Two of my grad lab students, Bailey Smith and Athena Kirby, presented posters on their theses.

Awards!

4/18/2024

Several of my students won awards this year. Chelsea Olender was named department Outstanding Senior, and she earned a scholarship to attend Texas Christian for grad school next year. Jordan Bilger gave an amazing speech at OSU's first Three-Minute Thesis competition for Undergrads. Marleigh Smith was named an OSU Senior of Significance. I gave teal cords to six graduating seniors who have made substantial long-term contributions to my lab. Other labs had big numbers this year too -- we gave out 20 total cords for theses and research contributions!

TSHA

2/25/2024

Went to the Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association convention for the first time. Three students (Bailey Smith, Grace Adams, Athena Kirby) presented three posters with me and two other professors, John Tetnowski and Tori Courouleau. It was in Ft. Worth, so we took the train from OKC!

OSHA posters x6

10/15/2023

More than a dozen OSU students presented posters at the Oklahoma Speech-Language-Hearing Association conference this weekend. Four posters came from students in my DXDX project, one was on our word/voice gender project, and one was a study proposal from my Evidence-Based Practice class. Other OSU labs also presented work, as did labs from other universities -- the largest poster session in years!
