Second-year students in the EKU Communication Disorders Undergraduate Program were recently asked what they have come to like about the CD Program.  Here are their responses.

I love the faculty-student ratio.  I believe it makes a difference to be known for who I am and what I can do.  A student in the CD program is not just another number.  I love the friendships I have developed and the student/faculty interaction.
--Sara Phelps

I like the student/faculty relationships.  I find it very easy to talk to any professor both in and out of class.  They have always made me feel very comfortable about asking questions as well as stopping by their offices if I needed to speak with them.
