S H S Goes for the Pink

Numerous activities have been planned throughout the university. Within Speech and Hearing Sciences, pink has "sprung up" in any number of unexpected places and ways [see photos].
College of Health student ambassador Amber Tyson, S S H A president Lauren Hughes, and S S H A member Ashley George have been busy for several weeks organizing activities within our department. The entire faculty and staff thank all of our students for their efforts.
The purpose of the N B C A M program is to increase public knowledge about the importance of early detection of breast cancer. More and more women are getting mammograms to detect breast cancer in its earliest stages. As a result, breast cancer deaths are on the decline.
