What’s up Sargent?
Though we are excited for the rest of November, let’s take a minute to look back at our October! We’re proud to report that during October, we hosted a number of events, published a new issue of Inside Sargent, our college magazine, and more.
You can find a few highlights below, but make sure to visit our website’s Headlines section for even more Sargent news! Interested in applying to one of our graduate programs? Reach out to us!
There’s a new issue of Inside Sargent!
We published the new issue of Inside Sargent in October, highlighting how Sargent faculty, students, and alumni are paving the way towards barrier-breaking clinical care and doing research that changes lives.
In this issue, we share the progress made by the Sargent community in using music to teach stroke survivors to walk again, providing cognitive therapy to populations historically neglected by the medical field, and looking for new ways to help people living with autism, to name just a few.
Annual Sargent College symposium during Alumni Weekend
Sargent alumni joined us during alumni weekend for our annual Sargent College Symposium! Alumni sat in on a presentation about the Mediterranean diet given by Professor Paula Quatromoni, a member of our Health Sciences Department and co-director of our MS in Public Health Nutrition program. The presentation was followed by an awards ceremony where the accomplishments, leadership, and humanity of our exceptional alumni were celebrated.
Those who were highlighted with an award include the following:
Special Recognition Award, Mary G. Berg, Sargent ’70; Professional Achievement Award, Ernest V. Gervino, Sargent ‘78 ‘82 and Robert M. Gumson, Sargent ’79; Black and Gold Award, Dolores T. Jordan, Sargent ’49 ‘60; Dudley Allen Sargent Service Award, Julie A. Starr, Sargent ‘80; Honorary Membership, Deborah S. Claar.
Stepp Lab Publication: Spectral Aggregate of the High-Passed Fundamental Frequency and Its Relationship to the Primary Acoustic Features of Adductor Laryngeal Dystonia
The Stepp lab published “Spectral Aggregate of the High-Passed Fundamental Frequency and Its Relationship to the Primary Acoustic Features of Adductor Laryngeal Dystonia” in early October. This publication highlights the process by which the Stepp lab sought to establish validity of a novel automated acoustic outcome measure for adductor laryngeal dystonia.
Ultimately, they identified that spectral aggregate of high-passed fundamental frequency contour held validity as an outcome measure for adductor laryngeal dystonia and could be useful in a treatment setting.
HealthMatters podcast episodes!
During October, we got a new HealthMatters (a podcast hosted by Professor Karen Jacobs) episodes, which you can listen to on this page, or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
