ASHA is excited to announce the names of this year's recipients of the Minority Student Travel Award, provided in conjunction with the 13th Annual Research Symposium: "Outcomes Research and Evidence-Based Practice."
This year's $1,000 student travel award winners include: Arpita Bose, University of Toronto; Anny Patricia Castilla, University of Georgia; Anne Graham, Northwestern University; Danai Kasambira, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill; Shubha Kashinath, Florida State University; Esther Sung Kim, University of Arizona; Nidhi Mahendra, University of Arizona; Grace McPherson, Pennsylvania State University; Bernard Rousseau, University of Wisconsin-Madison; and Ahmad Saleem, University of Florida.
The Minority Student Travel Award Program is designed to foster the professional development of racial and ethnic minority students who have expressed an interest in CSD research. The award is provided to students who are members of underrepresented racial and ethnic groups at the master's, doctoral, or post-doctoral level. Awardees have been selected based on the excellence of their current research proposal, which will be on display throughout the symposium in a poster presentation. Each awardee will also be assigned a mentor to interact with before, during and after the symposium, to discuss their poster presentations and to identify goals for attending the symposium.
The Research Symposium will be held on November 10-11, 2003 in Chicago, Illinois, at the Chicago Hilton and Towers, immediately before the ASHA Convention. The symposium is funded in part through a grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) and AGS Publishing.

The travel award program provides an opportunity for students to interact with seasoned researchers in Communication Sciences And Disorders and to receive constructive feedback about their current research projects. They attend select sessions addressing issues pertaining to the establishment of a career in science and research.
Awardees also identify a senior scientist to "shadow" throughout the convention. The purpose of the "shadow mentor" component is to assist students in professional networking with seasoned researchers and to provide guidance in selecting sessions in their area of research interest.
