Faculty

The Communication Sciences & Disorders faculty is nationally and internationally recognized for its scholarly work in a variety of areas, including stuttering, neurogenic communication disorders, augmentative-alternative communication, voice, and speech sound disorders for the speech-language pathologist. Faculty scholarship is actively integrated into the department's curriculum affording you the opportunity to work closely with a team of experts. While teaching and supervising student-clinicians is the first priority of our professors, faculty members also hold leadership positions in state, national and international organizations, helping to set policy for New York state and the nation. Communication Sciences & Disorders majors are encouraged to take an active role in departmental policy-making through involvement in NSSLHA, the fall and spring program meetings and representation at weekly faculty meetings.
