On March 2, 2020, the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of its new Center for Research. But students and faculty eager to use the center would have to wait because the campus closed for the remainder of the spring semester due to COVID-19. Now the center is ready to welcome students and faculty when Adelphi’s campus reopens, whenever that may be.
“The CSD Center for Research is the realization of a vision that started over three years ago, with a focus on research excellence, community impact and interprofessional practice and education,” said Dana Battaglia, PhD, associate professor and chair of Adelphi’s Communication and Science Disorders Department, at the lab’s ribbon cutting. “It is the location where faculty and students, together, can advance the profession and ultimately best serve individuals with communication disorders across the life span.”
Located in the lower level of Linen Hall, the center comprises six renovated, upgraded labs:
This new space will also be used for different courses relating to lab research. Undergraduate and graduate student volunteers are most welcome. If interested, please contact Ryan Priefer.
The Communications Science and Disorders program, part of Adelphi’s College of Education and Health Sciences, offers bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in the field. In addition, the program provides speech, hearing and language services to members of the community.
