In the Eyes of a…
The two classes we have are
Phonetics and Intro to
Communication and Sciences
Disorders, both with Dr.
Burrows. Dr. Burrows
definitely makes class fun,
and she is very approachable.
She will crack jokes here and
there, and there is never a
class where we aren’t
laughing. She definitely
knows how to make class fun,
and all of us are really
enjoying that. So far we have
learned about Phonemes,
Morphemes, Speech
Mechanisms, and we just
recently started vowels and
transcription. Sounding out
every word we heard or saw
became a very fun activity
between me and my friends.

Freshman
Right now the sophomore
class has three speech classes,
Language Development,
Linguistics, and Lab all with
Dr. Griffer. She is great, Dr.
Griffer is open to everyone’s
ideas, always answering our
questions and making the
material easily
understandable. In these
classes we are learning about
syntax and grammar, different
theories on types of therapy,
and how to analyze
utterances.
Sophomore
Currently my cohort has
taken 2 happy quizzes in
Communication Disorders in
Adults with Dr. Wisenburn,
and they're going well.
Additionally, we are learning
about the middle ear in
Audiology with Dr. Skrutski.
-Gianna DelleRose
My cohort is currently
working on preparing for the
start of clinic on the 11th! It
has been a very exciting, yet
nerve wracking, week
planning out our sessions for
our clients. This semester, I
have all preschool-aged
clients and am pairing up
with another student clinician
for the clinic’s Play Group.
We currently have a full
course load of classes
consisting of Dysphagia,
Language Disorders and
Learning Disabilities,
Diagnostics, Aphasia, and
Neuroscience.
Junior
Currently, cohort 10 is
settling into our new off
campus placements. Most of
us are at schools or working
with children, earning our
teaching certification and
gaining experience with all
different kinds of kiddos! In
addition, we are beginning
our classes on TBI, Dementia
and RHD, as well as Pediatric
Neuromotor Disorders. Even
though we are adjusting to a
bunch of new changes, it is an
incredible feeling to be one
step closer to becoming
Speech-Language
Pathologists!
-Erin Byrne
First-Year Grad
Second-Year Grad
On top of classes, everyone is
going off campus for the
Head Start programs, and
several of us from the cohort
are taking our Audiology
Practicum on campus. In all,
it is going to be quite a busy
semester, but I am excited to
further my education and
hands on experience of
becoming a Speech-
Language Pathologist!
-Jill Smith
Talking about grammar was
something my whole cohort
had to get used to, but we are
all adjusting and getting the
hang of it.

Humans of CSD
Brooke Reiner
Freshman Hometown: Clarks Summit, PA Favorite Scranton Activity: I love going to the Italian Festival because the food is absolutely delicious. Why do you want to become an SLP? I want to be able to give people the help they need to effectively communicate with others. You can go so many places by being an SLP and obtain such an amazing job, that all of the hard work to get there will be worth it. Advice to class below you? My advice would be to always ask questions if you do not understand something. Do not be afraid to ask for help, such as in getting a tutor.
Antonia Russo
Sophomore Hometown: Stewartsville, NJ Favorite Scranton Activity: I like to walk around Lake Scranton and enjoy the scenery. I also enjoy going to Manning’s because their peanut butter ice cream is delicious. Why do you want to become an SLP? I want to help people feel confident enough in their ability to communicate with others effectively. I believe it is extremely rewarding profession and I’m excited to be apart of the field Advice to class below you? To the freshman class looking at your schedules for the first time, you may be overwhelmed, but don’t be. You will get through everything. Also make lots of notecards. If you are struggling in any of your classes or even if you want extra practice, get a tutor.
Gianna DelleRose
Junior Hometown: Highland Mills, NY Favorite Scranton Activity: I enjoy going to Nay Aug park. Why do you want to become an SLP? My brother went through 10 years of speech pathology and it was truly amazing to see the progress over the years. I want to be able to change and impact someone’s life. Advice to classes below you? Study ahead of time a little bit at a time. Cramming adds so much extra, unnecessary stress.
Q#1: Where did you go on your service trip? How long were you there? My service trip this year was to New Orleans, Louisiana. Our group was there for 1 week. Q#2: What did you do while on your trip? We worked with organizations that focused on restoration from Hurricane Sandy as well as the conservation of food and energy. Q#3: What was the greatest part of your experience? The greatest part of the trip was the opportunity to serve with individuals from schools across the country and see that although our beliefs and perspectives may be different, we were brought together through our service to the people of New Orleans. Q#4: Was there a specific moment that stood out to you from the trip? My favorite moment from the trip has to be hearing firsthand accounts from victims of Hurricane Sandy. Being able to see for myself how much devastation the storm caused & how much work is still left to do was such an eye-opening experience.
Jill Smith
First-Year Grad Hometown: Hawthorne, NJ Favorite Scranton Activity: I love to go exploring around Scranton, finding fun places such as Roba’s Farm and Lackawanna and Tobyhanna State parks. Why do you want to become an SLP? I have always had a passion for the medical field. SLP is such a vast and diverse field, allowing for me to pursue my dreams of working in a pediatric hospital. Advice to classes below you? Stay organized and manage your time wisely. Personally, purchasing a planner and writing down all of my assignments ahead of time kept me ahead. Don’t forget to have fun!
Erin Byrne
Second-Year Grad Hometown: Warwick, NY Favorite Scranton Activity: Go to Manning’s – their ice cream is the best! Why do you want to become an SLP? All my life, I have experienced the pleasure of working with people with special needs, and, with graduation in sight, I find myself so close to finally being able to give back to this beautiful community of people! Advice to classes below you? There will be times that this amazing program will challenge you more than you think you can handle. Know this: you can do it! Keep pushing forward, working hard, laugh with your clients and teachers, and RTFM!
