Pearce Awarded Academy of Neurologic Communication Disorders and Sciences Award
The Academy of Neurologic Communication Disorders and Sciences (ANCDS) has selected Moriah Pearce, graduate student in Georgia Southern University’s Communication Sciences and Disorders graduate program, as a recipient of a student fellowship. Pearce is one of 12 students selected nationwide for this highly competitive honor, which recognizes exceptional dedication to the study of neurologic-based communication disorders.
The ANCDS student fellowship award offers recipients a full year of membership to the academy, complimentary registration to the ANCDS annual scientific meeting and exclusive access to a personalized mentorship program. Through these opportunities, Pearce will be able to deepen her knowledge and skills by connecting with a mentor specializing in neurogenic communication disorders.
“This opportunity will provide me with the ability to connect with other individuals interested in neurogenic communication disorders, as well as connect with a member mentor,” stated Pearce.
Pearce applied for the fellowship in June and was thrilled to be selected.
“I am excited to take part in numerous learning experiences through their mentorship program and conference.”
After graduation in May of 2025, Moriah plans to work with individuals affected by Parkinson’s disease, focusing on the treatment, advocacy and research of neurogenic voice disorders.
