 Damany Phifer, a communication sciences and disorders graduate student, is one of 40 students nationwide selected to participate in the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Minority Student Leadership Program for 2007. The program will be held in Boston on Nov. 13 to 17, during ASHA's annual convention.
"This is an honor for both him and the department, considering that our department has had at least three students who have been selected to participate in the MSLP in the last four years," said Associate Professor Kenyatta Rivers.
The Minority Student Leadership Program was established in 1999 to foster leadership development for racial/ethnic minority students. Since then, the program has served 148 students by helping them gain insight into their leadership skills, providing them a better understanding of how leaders affect change in their professional association, and empowering them to take risks and meet their own challenges.
