UNL department receives grants,
By Cindy Wostrel
Staff Reporter
and Matt Herek
Senior Editor
The University of Nebraska-Lin
coln’s department of Special Educa
tion and Communication Disorders
has received two grants totalling more
than $153,000.
Stanley Vasa, professor for the
department, said the first grant, for
$77,436, will help train teachers,
sponsor a statewide conference for
teaching assistants, sponsor a news
letter for teaching assistants and their
school districts, and finance the de
velopment of materials for seminars.
The competitive grant is renew
able for three years, he said.
“We’re really excited,” Vasa said,
because this will allow the depart
ment to continue the work they have
been doing.
Each year of the project, the de
partment will have 10 stipends for
teachers who will help train teaching
assistants. The first year, the stipends
will be used in North Platte, Vasa
said, and in the second and third years
the stipends will be used in other
Nebraska cities.
The department will sponsor con
ferences in Kearney and Omaha for
the assistants, he said. The depart
ment also produces a newsletter four
times a year for the teaching assis
tants and the school districts that hire
them.
The grant money also will go toward
a three-quarters staff member who
will work on the projects at UNL, he
said.
A second grant of $75,597 will
help support full-time UNL students
who major in speech pathology or
early childhood special education.
The project is designed to meet the
need for well-trained personnel to
serve preschool children with handi
caps, said Marilyn Schcfflcr, co-di
rector of the project and assistant
professor of special education and |
communication disorders.
I he uniqueness of the grant is that
it trains people in the fields of early
childhood special education and speech
pathology to work together, she said.
The six graduate students in the
program will take classes in both
programs in order to have inter-disci
plinary training, Schefflcr said.
The grant provides $ 1,350 for tui
tion expenses and S475 a month for
living expenses for four early spec ial
education students and l or two speech
pathology students, she said.
Hungary

CBA administrative assistant Chris
Gray said J. Clay Singleton arranged
the Hungary program while in Eu
rope last summer to search for univer
sities with student-faculty exchange
programs.
Gray said CBA also has student
exchange programs with Oxford
University in Great Britain and Scn
shu University in Japan. But those
programs focus on undergraduate
students, leaving a lack of interna
tional opportunities for UNL gradu
ate students, she said.
Hamilton, a graduate student, said
the summer study program will en
hance personal and career experiences
in the expanding overseas markets.
“I hope this will open the door to
new opportunities for graduate stu
dents to study abroad overseas,” she
said.
“This program will help interna
tionalize UNL’s MB A program,” she
said.
Gray said CBA’s student-faculty
exchange program will be enhanced
further by hosting a Hungarian ex
change student sometime during the
1990-91 school year and by this sum
mer’s visiting professor Henri Hucgel
of Dijon, France.
Hucgel will teach an international
business course, primarily for MBA
students,during the second five-week
summer session, Gray said.
