Congratulations to our Department of Communicative Disorders and Sciences, who earned a $333,000 grant from the CSU Chancellor's Office earlier this year!  This grant couldn't have come at a better time as there are so many priorities that have arisen in recent months in response to COVID-19 and ongoing acts of racial injustice.  We spoke with Department Chair Nidhi Mahendra to learn more about the grant and the impact it will have on the Communicative Disorders & Sciences program and beyond.
