This year, the department has welcomed three new members of the team. Dr. Edward Brown Jr. joined the faculty as an assistant clinical professor. He recently completed his Ph.D. From the University of Tennessee and has joined us to lead the department's clinical work in the area of stuttering. He is a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist with an accomplished history of clinical and research work in stuttering.
Kelsey Simon has joined us the new assistant to the department chair. She moved over from a staff position in the university's Wexner Medical Center. She will be the first point of contact for many students and alumni as they connect with the department. We are excited to have her in this role.
Finally, Abbey Stevens has recently begun working with us as a clinical audiologist. She is a graduate of our AuD program and has extensive experience with diagnostics, amplification, and cochlear implants. She will be seeing patients in the OSU Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic and educating students in the AuD program.
