The weather is finally nice and now students may see organizations and student groups hosting activities outside. To continue the fun, the Speech, Language and Hearing Student Association is hosting an event where students have a chance to pie one of the members.

On Thursday, April 21, 2016, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., grab a friend and head over to the Miron Student Center (MSC) patio where the event will be taking place. In order to pie someone, a student must pay $2.

The money raised that day will go to the Adler Aphasia Center.

Adler Aphasia Center is a non-profit organization that provides therapy as well as support to those living with aphasia, an incurable language disorder. Aphasia affects a person’s ability to communicate after a stroke or head injury through written and spoken language.

“We are raising money for Adler Aphasia [Center] because their mission and purpose has a special place in all of our members' hearts,” comments Marissa Falzone. She continues to say that their “dedication to the rehabilitation and support of individuals with this communication disorder is extremely important to us.” Falzone is majoring in speech-language-hearing sciences and is a senior. She is also the President of the Speech, Language, and Hearing Student Association.

Falzone also comments that the organization is hosting the event because it would like to spread awareness of aphasia.

“Our main purpose of this event is to raise money for the Adler Aphasia Center, a center that provides therapy, vital resources, and support for individuals living with aphasia, as well as their loved ones,” Falzone said.

To learn more about the disorder, there will be information about the disorder at the event. Students can also visit the Adler Aphasia Center to learn more about the center and disorder.
