Monica Silva, Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences

As the recipient of the Kozma-Littleton Family Fund, I would like to thank you for gifting me this honorable award. Thanks to your generosity, the cost of attending this university has lessened for my parents and me, and I can continue to aid bilingual children in their language acquisition. I hope to motivate other Spanish and English speakers to join the field, to see how their presence can positively influence a child’s life.
