“A driving force of the student learning is that their life can make a difference. Students have a tangible experience of change and impact.”

"The work in the Blank Center is life changing. Faculty make sure students have a comprehensive knowledge of past treatments, theoretical frameworks and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people who stutter. This sets the foundation of why the work we do now is so important. I have experienced the life changing effect first hand, the focus on communication effectiveness, resiliency, advocacy."
