The “Robert L. Ringel Research Award” has been established by a group of Bob Ringel's former students. They include:
Cheryl Scott, Ph.D., Professor, Speech-Language Pathology, Rush University Medical Center; Lorraine Ramig, Ph.D., Professor, Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences, University of Colorado; Rebecca Leonard, Ph.D., Professor, Otolaryngology/HNS, University of California, Davis Medical School; Anne Putnam Rochet, Ph.D., Professor Emerita, Speech Pathology and Audiology, University of Alberta The goal is to award a scholarship in the amount of $1,500 annually, for which we need an endowed fund of $30,000. These individuals have already collectively pledged $20,000 toward this award and are hopeful that we can reach our target of $30,000 by means of additional pledges and/or donations over the next few months. We will be making this award at the annual Robert L. Ringel Student Research Symposium which we hold each September, beginning last September, 2006. The first Robert L. Ringel Research Scholarship award will hopefully be given at the 2008 Ringel Symposium.
Robert L. Ringel Research Scholarship
Overarching philosophy and intent : This is an annual award offered to facilitate and enhance the research training of a student enrolled in the doctoral program of the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at Purdue University in memory of Robert L. Ringel, specifically:
His legacy as a devoted mentor of doctoral students,
His recognition that the health of the discipline of communication sciences and disorders depends on the continuation and growth of its research base, His promotion of inter-institutional and interdisciplinary research as one way to promote the growth of the research base of the discipline
We are indebted to this group of caring alums for their honoring of Bob in this way and their support of future Ph.D. students in our department!
