Get to know Hannah:

Why did you choose Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences at Mizzou?

I chose Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences at Mizzou because the program gives me the chance to explore such a broad and impactful field while being supported by a community that truly cares. I love that SLPs work with people of all ages and in so many different settings, and Mizzou’s SLHS program really highlights that variety through its classes and opportunities. Communication is such an important part of how we connect with others, and I’m excited that, through Mizzou’s program, I’ll be able to help people express themselves and find their voice.

Tell us more about how you’ve gotten hands-on experience!

My favorite experience was my undergraduate clinical practicum, where I worked with a team of graduate and undergraduate Speech, Language and Hearing sciences clinicians at the Nora Stewart Early Learning Center. There, we provided preventative language and literacy intervention to students. This hands-on experience gave me meaningful opportunities to grow as a clinician and taught me lessons that I will carry throughout my career.

What advice do you have for incoming students?  

My best advice for incoming Mizzou CHS students would be to try everything! Even if you do not end up loving everything you try, you can narrow it down until you find your place and people. Do not be afraid to put yourself out there because you never know the wonderful opportunities that could be in store.
