Alumni

Announcement: This year, the department plans to found an alumni association. We would love to make contact with you again. If you are interested in joining this organization, please contact Marjorie North (m.north@neu.edu) or Helen Anis (h.anis@neu.edu). We are already planning for events at the upcoming 2007 ASHA convention convention in Boston. We hope to see you there!

We are also forming a department advisory committee. We would value your expertise and are looking for 2-3 board members who are alumni. Please check back periodically for more information and ensure that we have a current e-mail address for you. Please send updated addresses to Karen O'Brien (ka.o’brien@neu.edu).

We are proud of our alumni and we are pleased to let you know where and what some of our Northeastern University alumni are doing.
