Regina Grantham was a faculty member in the Department of Communication Disorders & Sciences at SUNY Cortland for over 30 years. She was department chair for 18 years. Regina was monumental in establishing the Graduate program and obtaining accreditation for it. Regina tirelessly advocated and provided leadership to a multitude of diversity initiatives in our university, community and the field of speech-language pathology. She is the epitome of Black resistance, resilience and success. From the significant challenges she endured when attending a predominantly white institution in the 60s, to being named an ASHA Fellow by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), the highest honor in the field. This proposal is a snapshot of the leadership and impact she had.
Light refreshments will be served.
