Katelyn Dietrich, a 2021 graduate of the Communication Sciences and Disorders master's program, was awarded the 2021 St. Cloud State University Distinguished Thesis Award! Her topic was, "Dynamic Assessment with Bilingual (Somali/English) Children: Implications for Improving Accuracy of Identification for Language and Reading Disorders".
"Competing a thesis was the best decision for me. It provided an opportunity to make connections with a local school, collect data in-person, and share findings with professionals across related fields. All of this was done on a flexible schedule and with strong support and guidance from my thesis committee. Along the way, I developed a deeper understanding and appreciation for the research process and its "real world" implications." -Katelyn Dietrich
