Mr. Brad Crowe is a clinical speech language pathologist, clinical instructor, and professor of undergraduate courses for the department of Communication Sciences and Disorders. Crowe earned his master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology at the University of Mississippi in 1998. He then worked in different clinical settings in Mississippi and Georgia before returning to his hometown of Oxford and joining the university in 2006. Since that time, Crowe has taught undergraduate courses such as Introduction to Clinical Science and Language Disorders. He has also served as a clinical educator for the graduate program in Speech Language Pathology.
Crowe believes that Study USA courses provide students with not only a great opportunity to increase their knowledge and skills in their field of study, but also provide an excellent opportunity to increase their diversity awareness and begin national involvement through volunteering and networking with their future profession.
“Students will gain motivation for their future studies and careers through attending the ASHA Convention. They will gain knowledge about the current evidence-based practice in Communication Sciences and Disorders, get information about taking their next step for work, school, or research opportunities, network to build personal mentors for their future careers, and gain cultural perspective at the conference and throughout the surrounding city.”
