USD Audiology Students Provide Community Service
The students performed a variety of activities and services, including providing detailed education about hearing and hearing loss, and how to protect hearing. Over 150 community members were reached through the program, from preschool age to community elders at a number of community organizations and institutions including USD Head Start, Sanford Care Center, Beyond School Adventures, St. Agnes Red & Gold Program, and SESDAC.
The project, said Chris Stockdale, Assistant Director for Academic Engagement at USD, offered the students an opportunity to share knowledge they had acquired through their studies and provide a valuable service to the general public.
“Rather than simply making practice presentations to their classmates, the students in this class invested time and effort to improving actual public education, and by delivering presentations in the community they made a tangible impact on preventing hearing loss.” said Stockdale. “The project was so successful that the students were asked to offer additional training at later dates for staff members of local organizations.”
