The selection process includes a review of the nominee\u2019s academic record, letters of recommendation, and clearly articulated professional aspirations which in Braza\u2019s case include a special interest in working with children who face multiple challenges.<\/p>\n

Braza was one of only a few students selected in her first year for participation in the LEND program (Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities), based at the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities.

As she begins her third year, Braza will work as a research assistant in the Department of Otolaryngology\u2019s Speech Perception and Auditory Research Lab. Jackson Roush, professor in the Division of Speech and Hearing Sciences, said Braza is a \u201cmotivated and multi-talented young woman who combines technical ability, interpersonal skill, genuine passion for working with children and families, and an extraordinary willingness to go above and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson Roush, PhD, served as division director for more than 20 years and is director of the LEND program. The division is housed in the Department of Allied Health Sciences.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
