Graduate School Dean Steve Matson presents the 2018 Boka W. Hadzija Award for Distinguished University Service to Sallie Nowell. The Department of Allied Health Sciences houses the Division of Speech and Hearing Sciences.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The\u00a0award\u00a0recognizes a graduate or professional student with outstanding character, scholarship, leadership and service to UNC-Chapel Hill. The Graduate School presented the award to Nowell at the 20th\u00a0Annual Graduate Student Recognition Celebration, held April 5. Nowell and other students were recognized for their outstanding leadership at the Chancellor\u2019s Awards Ceremony on April 24.<\/p>\n

Nowell has co-directed undergraduate courses and served as a teaching assistant for graduate courses. She organized an interdisciplinary group of doctoral students to write an APPLES Service-Learning grant proposal, through the\u00a0Carolina Center for Public Service\u00a0(CCPS), to develop an undergraduate course on autism spectrum disorder. The grant was approved, and Nowell reached out to local autism service-oriented programs, a nominator said, to ensure that students taking the course gained a valuable service-learning experience and that the organizations received support they needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only was the experience highly rated by both students and sites, but the waiting list for the second offering of the course was almost 100 students beyond those admitted,\u201d the nomination letter said.<\/p>\n

The CCPS also named Nowell a 2017 Community Engagement Fellow for her study on the efficacy of a\u00a0TEACCH Autism Program\u00a0intervention focused on North Carolina children. A nomination letter noted that Nowell asked TEACCH staff to present with her at a national conference. She saw her study as a partnership, the letter said, adding that \u201cThis is just another example of Sallie\u2019s many efforts to accomplish multiple goals that always include service to others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nowell received both her master\u2019s degree in speech and hearing sciences and her bachelor\u2019s degrees in communication studies and psychology from UNC-Chapel Hill. Between her master\u2019s degree and the start of her doctoral studies, she completed a Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities clinical fellowship and worked as an assistant professor of speech language pathology at the Oregon Health and Science University Institute on Development and Disability.<\/p>\n

Nowell has presented at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association convention, the International Meeting for Autism Research and the UNC Women in Science Symposium, among other organizations.<\/p>\n

In presenting the Boka W. Hadzija Award to Nowell,\u00a0Steve Matson, dean of The Graduate School, said, \u201cIt has been noted that Sallie\u2019s outstanding contributions to our campus and beyond \u2013 as a researcher, teacher, public servant, mentor and community member \u2013 demonstrate the full potential of what graduate students can be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Linda Watson, a professor in the Division of Speech and Hearing Sciences, is Nowell\u2019s doctoral adviser.<\/p>\n

Boka W. Hadzija was an award-winning professor in the Eshelman School of Pharmacy; she established the award in 2000 in honor of her students. Hadzija, who died in 2013, is remembered by students and faculty for her strong mentorship, her generous support of students and her outstanding leadership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
