Corri Newman, first year SLP student in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD), was recently awarded the Kansas Speech-Hearing Association’s (KSHA) Dixie Heinrich Servant Leadership Award.
Susie Ternes, KSHA’s executive director, surprised Newman before a class to present her certificate and award check. CSD faculty, staff and students joined in the celebration of a well-deserved recognition. In October, Newman was also selected as one of the winners of KSHA’s Margaret Byrne Sarricks Scholarship.
“I’m overwhelmed with gratitude to be selected for such a prestigious award,” Newman said. “I’m proud to be part of the CSD program and appreciate our wonderful staff.”
