The Connie L. Lurie College of Education makes funds available to support students who have experienced an unforeseen financial hardship that will prevent them from continuing their enrollment. Most often cited are the challenges of meeting the costs of living (transportation, rent, and other expenses) during the unpaid student teaching/ counseling requirements for becoming an educator.

The Kay Armstead Center for Communicative Disorders (KACCD) has long been a destination for persons and families seeking speech-language therapy services for communication and related disorders. For 6 decades, the clinic has provided no-cost-for-services to the South Bay community while training undergraduate and graduate students to become speech-language pathologists and audiologists. 

The National Student Speech and Language Hearing Association is raising money to support student members to attend the California Speech Language Hearing Association's state-wide professional conference as an effort to support our student scholars, inspire more students, and diversify the profession to better serve our communities.

Lurie College is partnering with The Moth through a weekend workshop intensive for 30 faculty and alums. This Professional Development focuses on learning what storytelling is, how to be a storyteller, and how to bring it into the classroom. The focus includes how to use an authentic voice while respecting boundaries. In addition, they will learn both how to give and teach crafting comments. The culmination of the weekend workshop is a grand slam storytelling session open to the community.
