Dr. McCrea Elected as ASHA Vice-PresidentDate added: November 29, 2006Contributed by: Mary K. Welsh The Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences at Indiana University is proud to announce Clinical Professor Elizabeth McCrea has been elected as the 2007- 2009 American Speech and Hearing Association Vice-President of Academic Affairs.
In accomplishing these goals, McCrea sees a need to serve as an effective liaison between the EB and both the Council on Academic Accreditation and the Council for Clinical Certification as well as the Council of Academic Programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders. “I also think it’s important for this position to engage undergraduate programs that have had significant influence on their students as they prepare to go to graduate school. For McCrea, engaging others in a collaborative dialogue has brought both professional and personal rewards. “I appreciate the confidence that the membership has placed in me and I will work hard to sustain the professions and move them forward,” she said.

Chantel Hazelwood, an AuD student in the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences is the recipient of the 2007 Lions of Indiana Speech and Hearing Project, Inc. Scholarship. Chantel’s research project is The Spatial Extent of Generation of SFOAEs.
Dr. McCrea views her role as important in developing the professions. “We are being challenged by shortages at both the doctoral level in teaching and research and at the master’s level in service provision. This position needs to extend the momentum that has already built around ways to address the doctoral shortage. At the master’s level in Speech-Language Pathology, we need to develop recruitment strategies in non-traditional communities, investigate alternative models for training while maintaining their rigor, and in collaboration with other ASHA constituencies, help employers retain clinicians.”
