Bridget listed Beth Kelley, associate professor, Speech, Language Hearing Sciences, as her mentor. “Bridget is outstanding and I’m delighted that she is being recognized with this honor.” Beth said. “Not only has Bridget excelled in all areas of her graduate program, balancing rigorous academic coursework and time-intensive clinical experiences, but she has played an important role as a leader and mentor to her peers as well as pursued an innovative, independent research project. In my opinion, it is the mark of a truly exceptional student who not only takes advantage of available learning opportunities, but actively seeks out additional ways to learn and develop. Bridget is an asset to our program and our field. I can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next!”
