Original Inquiry

When applying to schools I was very influenced by which schools would allow me to participate in research. Once I figured out that I wanted to do speech and hearing sciences I immediately began looking into Ohio State’s speech and hearing department and looking at what sort of research they do.  Since it is my first semester at Ohio State I have yet to participate, however I am looking into opportunities for next semester.

In english this year I have already done a research paper which has helped me understand how to start the process. This also helped me to utilize all of the resources that Ohio State has to offer. It showed me how to use the library, writing center, and navigate office hours.

 

OSU NSSLHA Conference

This year the annual NSSLHA conference was held right here at Ohio State and I was able to attend with a few of my classmates! We were welcomed by Brutus and had a long, enjoyable morning of informational sessions about professionalism and working with others. I was able to meet a lot of new people from different schools and different grade levels. After we all ate lunch together we attended break-out sessions that were very helpful. The first one that I attended was a panel of graduate students discussing how they applied and they gave us tips and tricks on asking for recommendation letters, setting yourself apart, and getting good grades. The second session I got to attend was about professionalism on social media and how to set yourself apart from others. My last session was about using service dogs to aid with patients and we even got to interact with some service dogs! At the end of the conference I learned a lot about the field of speech pathology and how to better present myself throughout my years here at Ohio State.
