Carly Maldonado Alicea '12, communication sciences and disorders major with an honors minor, chose to get a dual-doctorate when her grad school noticed her doctorate-like honors thesis work and offered her funding to pursue a Ph.D.
After earning her dual-doctorate in audiology and in audiology research from Syracuse University, she became an assistant professor in communication sciences and disorders at Nazareth College.
For her honors program thesis, social work major Aubrey Baldauf '19 (left) researched how income, housing, food, and structural and interpersonal racism contribute to racial health disparities — and what can be done. Her in-depth honors project "was a reason to push myself, to learn more, to become more confident in the field I want to go into. It was a self-driven learning project, that I'd never done before.
