Hello everyone,

I am currently working on my MSC in Audiology at Western. It's my second year. This year I am begining research with a professor who is associated with Psychology and audiology, so it will be an interesting mix of information!

This week was orientation for the new students. I was involved with helping out with introducing the students to the school and professors...When I met the students I saw one girl who looked very very familiar. It took me a minute to realize who she was...she recognized me right away. Her name is Andrea and she was one of the students in the stats class while I was a TA. What a small world! Paul, she said you had written her a lovely reference letter, and as you may already know, she was accepted into speech language pathology!

Wish you all goodluck with your studies this year, Michelle

Thanks Michelle for your lovely posting.

I do remember Andrea well. Please give her my regards and ask her to send me e-mail so I'll know her address. Perhaps she would like to view the TA forum and even write her own comment here! (Give her the URL and password.) I don't specifically recall sending a letter for her to Western but I do know she was very focussed on entering some field of rehabilitation and had prepared intensively for years. I believe she applied to several different programs. (I just reviewed the letter I wrote!) I'm so pleased with Andrea's success in getting into the audiology program.

Is there some connection between my hearing loss and now having two students in audiology?

Michelle: congratulations on reaching the second year of your program. Keep all of us posted on your research work.

Paul

On re-reading my posting, I realized that I had missed that Andrea is in speech pathology program, not the audiology program that Michelle is in. I'm sure these are related, but different programs.
