Two CLA Faculty Receive AU Outreach Scholarship Grants
Two faculty members from the College of Liberal Arts (CLA) recently received competitive Outreach Scholarship Grants from Auburn University's Office of the Vice President for Outreach.
Dr. Sandra Clark-Lewis, clinical professor of audiology in the Department of Communication Disorders, was awarded $14,749 from the University for her project, "Auburn Audiology Outreach in Guatemala," which will provide hearing and middle ear screening to impoverished children attending three inner city schools in Guatemala City. CLA provided an additional $3,800 in matching funds to support the project. Six audiology doctoral students will join Clark-Lewis for the August trip to Guatemala and fit up to forty children diagnosed with significant hearing loss with digital hearing aids.

Dr. Elizabeth Brestan-Knight, CLA Engaged Scholar and associate professor of psychology, received a $15,149 grant for her project, "An Evaluation of Attachment Training for Mentoring Effectiveness." Shalonda Brooks, a psychology doctoral candidate, will serve as co-investigator. The project will apply the principles of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy to help Project Uplift mentors build a warm relationship with their mentees and increase the overall effectiveness of the local mentoring program.
