Abstract
Mary Aragona speaks with Dr. Theresa Chisolm, a professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) and vice provost for strategic planning, performance and accountability, about the growth and changes she has witnessed in the department and the profession of communication sciences and disorders. Chisolm recounts how CSD moved away from a five-year only program, where students did not earn a bachelor’s degree, to offering bachelor, AuD, and PhD degrees and how the department moved from rented apartments off campus to the current location on campus. The University of South Florida likewise has grown from a mainly commuter college to a Research I university during her time. She remembers the early major community partners as the school districts of Hillsborough and Central Florida as well as the VA hospital at Bay Pines. The VA partnered with CSD to provide PhD students a training center—one of four in the United States. She also observed that speech-pathology and audiology grew up in the VA system as many veterans of WWII suffered from hearing loss. Chisolm concludes the interview by commenting on the excellence of the program and the discipline itself.
