Reminders, deadlines and events

* A WSU Doctoral of Audiology student needs subjects who possess a mild hearing loss for her research on the possible relationship between the subtleties of music and how they influence one's ability to hear. If you are 18 to 50 years old, consider participating in a 45-minute study to be performed this October/November on campus. The process will test your hearing as well as your musical listening skills. Contact Felicia Nepomuceno at 909-348-2576 or fxnepomuceno@wichita.edu.
