| Dr. Joseph Armstrong | The Illinois Board of Higher Education has approved the new Doctor of Audiology program to be initiated for the Fall of 2006 in the Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology. Dramatic increases in the knowledge base needed by practicing audiologists in recent years provided the impetus for this new program. The Doctor of Audiology degree at ISU will offer students a strong program in rehabilitation and in pediatric audiology. The program will consist of a structured four year curriculum. The Department is planning to admit a cohort of 10 to 12 students each year for a maximum number of 48 doctoral students when the program is full. “As audiology transitions to a doctoral degree as the entry-level standard, I am pleased that Illinois State University will continue to provide the region and nation with highly trained practitioners,“ said President Bowman, former chair of the Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology.

President Bowman | On Friday, September 9, faculty, staff, and students gathered on the Quad to honor ISU scientists from the late 19th and early 20th centuries at a plaque unveiling ceremony. The plaque, which lists severalscientists who worked at Illinois State and who then went on to attain national and international fame, was created from a pencil-drawn plan that was estimated to have been created in the 1930s. Scientists listed on the plaque include John Wesley Powell, Stephen Forbes, Thomas Burrill, George Vasey, Alice Patterson, and Joseph Sewell. “For reasons we do not know, the actual plaque was never created,” said Dean Olson at the unveiling ceremony. “We gather today, some 75 years later, to finally make the plaque a reality.” The bronze cast plaque will be prominently displayed alongside the framed original plan on the first floor of Felmley Hall.
