→ November 2023: Our second-year students practiced balance evaluations on the Rotational Chair! This chair is specialized due to its ability to test at high frequencies, which can help identify peripheral and central etiologies. The rotational chair, one of about a dozen in the U.S. outside of the military, is used to test inner ear function and balance in a completely darkened chamber. Videonystagmography uses special goggles and infrared cameras to analyze eye movements to assist with diagnosing inner ear disorders.

→ April 2024: Some members of our SAA club got together and volunteered for The BIG Event! Each spring, student volunteers venture to more than 100 job sites across town and in local neighborhoods tackling a variety of chores such as raking, painting, gardening, mulching, removing debris, digging, and various spring-cleaning duties. The single-day community service event gives students the opportunity to say “thank you" to Bloomsburg area residents and show appreciation for the community we live, learn, and work in. Our SAA members spent their morning raking leaves for a community member!
→ April 2024: SAA hosted a custom badge reel event where students got to use their creativity skills on some awesome badge reels!
→ May 2024: Class of 2024 graduated and are now officially Doctors of Audiology! Congratulations!
