Emma Eickholt, Bluffton University senior psychology major from Ottoville, spent the summer volunteering at Lima Memorial Health System to learn more about careers in speech-language pathology.
“With this experience I got to see the good and the bad of a career in speech-language pathology. I got to see the hard parts along with the happy parts, and I took away the importance of speech pathology and the positive impact it can have on people’s lives,” said Eickholt.
