Second year students in the Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) program in the Department of Communicative Disorders embodied their area of study for Halloween by dressing up as parts of the human auditory system.

The students created t-shirts that represented the parts of the outer ear, middle ear, inner ear, and brain.

They wore these “costumes” to their classes on October 31.

Later that evening, the students brought their enthusiasm for their chosen field out into the community by trick-or-treating for canned good to donate to a local food pantry.
