Abstract
Mary Aragona interviews Dr. Richard Schwartz about his time as a student in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders. During his time in the program, it was a five-year direct master’s program, and the department was located off-campus in low-rise, two-story buildings that had once been apartments. He remembers the therapy rooms were made of paneling rather than having real walls. He also remembers a relaxed atmosphere and good relationships among the students and that more advanced students willing helped newer students succeed in their studies. Schwartz states that the field of communication sciences and disorders has seen a tremendous expansion since he began his career. As an example, he relates that he recently performed a Google search for a specific language impairment and approximately one million five hundred thousand hits were returned. He concluded the interview by stating that his career in communication sciences and disorders has been enjoyable and that a former doctoral student of his from City University of New York is now a professor at USF’s Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders.
