Research Spotlight The School has a long history of research productivity in the form of national and international presentations, peerreviewed professional publications, book chapters, books, and external grants and contracts. Students take an active part in the research activities that are conducted in nine research laboratories, some of which were recently profiled for the following videos now up on our website. • Speech Perception Assessment Lab • Otoacoustic Emissions Lab • Hearing Aid Research Lab • Instrumentation Lab • Neurocommunications Lab On May 3, 2012, students and faculty participated in a colloquium where the third-year AuD students presented the results of their research projects. Each AuD student completes a research project during the second and third years of study. The colloquium provided a setting where students and faculty could discuss their research and share their ideas on a variety of topics. Below is a listing of the research projects completed this year.
