Aggies Go Global: Pizza and Ice Cream Fundraiser!

We are a group of graduate students in the field of Audiology, Speech-Language Pathology, and Deaf Education at Utah State University who have a special interest in providing early intervention services and auditory oral training to children with hearing loss and their families. We are working in conjunction with the Global Foundation for Children With Hearing Loss to provide education, training, and resources to children, parents, and teachers in Vietnam Summer 2011.

This blog is used to provide information regarding fundraising activities, upcoming events, services provided, and information on the graduate students as they work hard to raise enough funds to cover supplies, educational materials, and travel expenses.
