The scholarship committee is proud to announce that Cristina Zaffetti is the recipient of our 2018 Patricia M. Stephens Memorial Scholarship. Cristina is a graduate student studying speech pathology at Worcester State College with a special interest in augmentative and alternative communication and autism spectrum disorders. The Patricia M. Stephens Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to an exceptional graduate student studying speech pathology or audiology at The University of Rhode Island or Worcester State College. The number of exceptional candidates who applied this year made the committee’s decision very difficult. Congratulations Cristina!
