Jaime Moore and Ryan Sovinski, two graduate students in the UW-Madison Department of Communicative Disorders received 2010 SPARC Awards from the American Speech-Language Hearing Association.
SPARC Awards or Students Preparing for Academic & Research Careers, are designed to provide opportunities for enhanced educational mentorship experiences that prepare students for successful PhD education and academic careers.
The award helps students pursue their PhD education and careers in academia in communication sciences and disorders.
As many as 10 students are annually awarded up to $1,500 for teaching and research enhancement activities.
Moore and Sovinski could use the awards for travel to a research/pedagogy conference or meeting, a visit to an off-campus site that provides learning opportunities in a research lab or college classroom setting; or relevant course registration.
Congratulations to our students!
