Stephanie Dobbins
Hi! My name is Stephanie Dobbins and I am currently a junior at the University of Arkansas. My hometown is Tahlequah, Okla., and I graduated from Tahlequah High School in 2007. My major is communication disorders and my minors are psychology and human development. I was accepted into the communication disorders program last spring and plan on graduating with my undergraduate degree in the spring of 2011. After graduating with my undergraduate degree, I plan to attend graduate school to earn my master's degree in speech pathology.
When coming to the University of Arkansas my freshman year, I had planned on majoring in a degree that I later realized I had no interest in. I then spent a few semesters researching different majors trying to find a degree that would allow me to do the things I love, which is working with children and caring for people in general. In my sophomore year, I decided that the communications disorder degree would allow me to pursue those passions and decided to declare it my major. Since then I have never regretted my decision. The coursework is really interesting and the professors are of the highest quality and are very approachable.
Pursuing a degree in communications disorders has also allowed me the opportunity to become a College of Education and Health Professions (COEHP) Student Ambassador. Since I had researched so many degrees when deciding on a major, I feel I have a good general knowledge of all the degrees offered in the College of Education and Health Professions. This has been helpful when answering the many questions of incoming or prospective students who are considering seeking a degree within COEHP. I look forward to helping future students at the multiple college fairs I will be attending. I hope to be a great ambassador for the College of Education and Health Professions and in doing so hope to encourage many new students to join us here at the University of Arkansas!
