Hi guys! My name's Rina and I'm a first year SLP student at the U of A. Congrats to everyone who has been accepted to one of our wonderful Canadian speech pathology programs, and an ESPECIALLY big congrats to those of you who have been accepted to the U of A! The program is outstanding and if you decide to come here I guarantee that you will love it (I will make no such promises about the weather, however!). And if you're still waiting to hear, my fingers are crossed! I signed on here to invite all you future U of A speechies, or wannabe U of A speechies, out to a fundraising Comedy Night event that we're putting on in May. The event raises money for two great camps that the Faculty runs (in partnership with March of Dimes Canada) - Alberta Aphasia Camp and AAC Camp Alberta. I have set out all the info below in what is possibly the longest post to ever hit this forum. If you're interested in attending, please feel free to pop an email off to the address listed below. It should be a great opportunity to meet and mingle with some current students and profs! On another note, happy to answer any questions anyone might have about the U of A, so please feel free to shoot them off to me in a PM. I really do mean it when I say the program is outstanding. That said, we're coming into finals so I might not get back to you right away, but if you're patient, I will do my best! **You're Invited** The University of Alberta’s Speech Language Pathology Class of 2018 is very excited to invite you to Comedy Night 2017, in support of Alberta Aphasia Camp and AAC Camp Alberta, in partnership with March of Dimes Canada.
