Congratulations Ezra!

Congratulations to Ezra Flores (shown on right), 3rd Year AuD student, who recently returned from the American Auditory Society (AAS) Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona where she presented findings from research conducted during her 2023 summer T35 traineeship at the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research (NCRAR) in Portland, Oregon.

Being selected as a T35 trainee is an impressive achievement, as NCRAR offers only four summer traineeships, which aim at encouraging research careers within auditory/hearing science.

Ezra’s trip was funded by the 2023 Denise Descouzis Audiology Student Travel Scholarship and a travel award for T35 trainees through AAS.
We are beaming with pride!
