Additional Info
The Anderson-McCrea Excellence in Clinical Supervision Award is an opportunity designed to recognize and support clinical faculty in the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington. Awarded to associate professors or higher in speech-language pathology or audiology, this honor celebrates outstanding contributions to clinical education and mentorship. Recipients receive funding and leave time to pursue professional development activities such as travel, continuing education, or specialized training.
By supporting this award, donors help foster excellence in clinical supervision and ensure that our faculty continue to grow, innovate, and bring fresh insights to their work with students and clients. This investment in professional development not only enhances the quality of clinical education but also strengthens the department’s ability to deliver cutting-edge, compassionate care. It’s a meaningful way to honor the dedication of our clinical faculty while advancing the future of the field.
Named in honor of Drs. Jean Anderson and Elizabeth McCrea, this award reflects the legacy of two extraordinary educators who shaped the department’s clinical training programs. Dr. Jean Anderson was a beloved clinical faculty member known for her mentorship and commitment to student learning, as well as her deep knowledge of the supervisory process. Dr. Elizabeth McCrea is a world-renowned expert on clinical supervision. She served as clinic director for nearly a decade, and later as president of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). Both women exemplified excellence in clinical supervision and left a lasting impact on the profession through their leadership, scholarship, and dedication to student success.
Thank you for your generous gift!
Your giving matters
Receiving the Anderson-McCrea Excellence in Clinical Supervision Award provided me with a meaningful opportunity to deepen my understanding and responsiveness when working with Autistic individuals. This generous gift of time and funding made it possible for me to complete a certification program in a specialized, evidence-based approach that I would not have been able to pursue otherwise. This experience has significantly enhanced my ability to support the clients in my care and has also elevated the clinical education of our SLP graduate students, as I now incorporate this approach into both classroom instruction and hands-on supervision.
