During the 2023 Colorado Academy of Audiology Conference in Colorado Springs one of our faculty members was recognized for their dedication and devotion to the field and study of audiology. Dr. Barbara Bell-Lehmkuhler (pictured right), an affiliate faculty in SLHS, was awarded the R. Steven Ackley Educator Award. The R. Steven Ackley Educators Award is given in memory of Dr. Ackley, an audiology professor remembered for the ways in which he fostered student-centered teaching practices, high expectations, humor, humanitarian ideals, and life-long learning into the classroom. The award is given to an outstanding professor in the field of Audiology that exemplifies Dr. Ackley's student-centered approach to teaching and mentoring the next generation of clinicians.
