PhD/MA-SLP student, Meredith Suhr, has received the Ray Travel Award to attend and present her work at the 2023 ASHA convention. Unlike other programs that grant travel funds, the Ray Travel Award gives substantial weight to the applicant's service to his/her department, the university, and the surrounding community. Additionally, Ray Travel Award judges also take into account the applicant's professional goals, the nature of the conference being attended, and the applicant's ability to convey the focus of their research to a general audience.
