Donor
Dr. Paul Nesper came to Ball State in 1957 as a faculty member in the Department of Educational Leadership in the Teachers College. Both he and his wife, Berniece, were very involved with the doctoral program in educational administration until his retirement. The Nespers' interest in audiology grew from the very professional help Dr. Nesper received from the Audiology faculty, staff and students when it became necessary for him to wear hearing aids. Professional personnel in Audiology were always more than willing to do what was necessary to keep his hearing aids in excellent working condition. It was the Nespers' hope that providing this assistantship fund would enable doctoral level students to acquire the necessary skills and attitudes exemplified by those who helped Dr. Nesper. The Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology appreciates the friendship of the Nespers' and their contribution to our department in establishing this fund in 2009.
