Tiger, and a chance to win a scholarship for use in the fall 2017 semester - the largest scholarship being $1,000! Representatives from Astra Bank, the scholarship sponsor, stopped by the lunch event to draw the names of a few of the lucky scholarship winners! The Kansas Masonic Foundation recently announced a gift of $250,000 to Fort Hays State University. The gift, spread over five years, will support adult speech, language, and hearing services at the Herndon Clinic on our university’s campus. The support will provide numerous opportunities for older adults in Western Kansas to receive important health screening services that are currently scarce or difficult to access. Expanding adult services provided by FHSU’s Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders and the Herndon Clinic will include enhanced training and services related to dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and hearing screenings provided in FHSU’s Western Kansas service area.
