Students share speech-language pathology career path during Great American Teach-In
Graduate students in the USF chapter of the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA) visited Sligh Middle School for the Great American Teach-In on Nov. 17. NSSLHA members shared information on what a career in speech-language pathology entails through a PowerPoint presentation and multiple hands-on small-group activities.
Students were able to communicate with each other using augmentative and alternative communication (e.g apps, visuals, and gestures) and trial compensatory feeding strategies (e.g thickened water). Events like these are vital to the profession because they allow students to explore a career in speech-language pathology at an early age.

REDCap Overview & Use Cases Presentation
Dec. 9 | 3 p.m.
CBCS Atrium (MHC 1200)
This presentation will showcase existing CBCS REDCap projects to demonstrate main features of Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) and how this free system can be used for data collection, data management, and reporting. REDCap is a metadata-driven workflow methodology and software solution originally designed for rapid development and deployment of electronic data capture tools to support translational research informatics. Translational informatics uses bioinformatics and statistical approaches to explore, synthesize, combine and interpret data that comes from laboratory research, clinical study, electronic health records, imaging data, etc. into useful insights. REDCap was initially developed at Vanderbilt University in 2004 for use by clinical researchers but is now widely utilized in many different academic fields by over 6000 institutions from 150 countries around the world.
