|
|
The University of Alabama Speech
and Hearing Center
|
| UA's Sam S. May Commitment to Service Award recognizes departments, departmental units, offices, teams, or centers that demonstrate exceptional customer service and continuous improvement in customer relations. |
| The award honors a special man who worked at the University from 1911-1941 as a custodian in the chemistry department. May learned chemistry from instructors during his lunch hour. He later tutored students and helped in research projects. May was presented an award for his service to students and faculty, and he is listed in The University of Alabama's Pictorial History. |
| Dr. Robert Olin, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, hosted the winners in an award reception. The Speech and Hearing Center was founded in 1938, one of the first of its kind and many years before child speech therapy became publicly accepted. The center provides more than 9000 individual services to nearly 1,500 children and adults a year. |
