Speech and language pathologist Kayla Thornburg ’11 was the first speaker for last week’s first Health Professions Institute speaker series. Thornburg met with students over dinner and discussed her career path from Thiel College to the Mt. Lebanon School District. Also in attendance was Thornburg’s undergraduate advisor and Chair of the Department of Communication Science and Disorders Nancy Antonino, Ph.D.
Student feedback
“I thought it was cool that we had grown up in basically the same area, and it reminds me that no matter where you are, you can always achieve your dreams.”
“She told us of how the professors here at Thiel helped her during her time here, and she kept reiterating for us to make strong bonds with our professors and to study for our exams, like the GRE.”
“The speaker also shared her personal career path with our class. She explained the process of taking the GRE and applying to graduate programs in Pennsylvania. She also informed us of the job search process in her field. Learning about her personal career path was very helpful because it helped us understand that everyone’s path to success is different. She also emphasized studying and building a network to help you strengthen yourself as a candidate for graduate programs and future jobs.”
