Academic and Personal Reflections on a Career in Communication Disorders

In the pages of this delightful book, Gerald Siegel looks back on a long and distinguished career as a professor of communication disorders. The book includes personal stories, articles, and addresses that convey the atmosphere of departmental and campus life at the University of Minnesota during his tenure there. Alongside these essays and addresses come a collection of brief professional vignettes and random reflections called “Gleanings,” and a series of thumbnail sketches of the teachers from whom Siegel drew inspiration and encouragement at various times in his life, reaching back to his earliest childhood memories. The book offers an indelible portrait, written with warmth and humor, of a man dedicated to his teaching, his research, and his students.
