Opportunities for Research at UT

Research is an integral aspect of most graduate programs. The ability to conduct research and gain hands-on experience in the field is one of the many methods which graduate programs at The University of Toledo use to ensure our students are well-prepared for their future careers.

Not only does research occur in the labs of our natural sciences, health sciences and engineering programs, but in diverse ways in programs across our campus. Students also participate in research through experiential learning in many disciplines in business, education and the health and social sciences. These include internships, clinical practica and student teaching. Students at UT also gain exposure to research through other on campus events. For example, the College of Nursing will host their 7^th Annual Research Conference, titled “Changing Practice through Nursing Research” on Monday, April 22th. The event will be held from 8:30am to 4:00pm in the UT Main Campus Student Union Auditorium. A continental breakfast will be served. Online registration begins March 11 and ends April 21, 2013.

UT’s Graduate Student Association (GSA) sponsors, with support of the College of Graduate Studies, the Annual Midwest Graduate Research Symposium. This year, the 4^th Annual day-long symposium will be held on Saturday, April 20th on the UT Main Campus. The GSA has invited more than 65 universities from across the United States to participate in this year’s symposium. More information about the poster and oral presentation sessions and banquet can be found at www.utoledogsa.com. Individuals wishing to present their research are encouraged to submit an abstract online at that site by March 29, 2013. The GSA is hoping for a great turnout of graduate student researchers.

Speech-Language Pathology Master’s Program Receives U.S. Department of Education Grant

The University of Toledo Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) Program recently received a grant from the United States Department of Education to help fund the course work development and practicum experiences for graduate students. The joint grant with The University of Akron was awarded to UT’s program for their efforts to improve the speech and listening skills of children with hearing disabilities through the use of technology.

The grant will also be used in collaboration with the program’s Auditory and Language Enriched Program, which targets listening and spoken language skills in young children through the use of a play group. Additionally, the program provides further education for the parents of children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.  The graduate program in speech-language pathology is accredited by the Council of Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA). For the past four years, 100% of the SLP graduates are employed in the field.

The College of Graduate Studies would like to congratulate the program on this prestigious grant. Individuals interested in the Speech-Language Pathology program may receive more information by contacting the program office at 419.530.2495.
