OSU at OSLHA

My department - both faculty and students - made a great showing at our state conference, the Oklahoma Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Faculty gave several talks and workshops, all 8 posters were from OSU students and faculty labs, and our students beat our rivals OU at the first annual Praxis Bowl!  Students from my lab presented two posters about our Deaf Experience, Deaf Expression (DXDX) Project: Bailey Smith and Mary Vang described the process of creating the video interview corpus with teams of students in a project-based course, and grad student Tess Meyer presented her thematic analysis of sudden situational loss of communication due to things like noisy restaurants, dead hearing aid/cochlear implant batteries, taking off devices for swimming, masks, and Zoom. I was very proud of all our students, and I'm so glad to see our state conference back to full activities and providing so many opportunities for student involvement.
