The Student Academy of Audiology (SAA) teamed up with the Foundation for Hospital Art to create a custom audiology-themed mural that, when complete, was donated to the Ohio State University’s Department of Otolaryngology through the Ohio State University Foundation.
Hundreds of attendees at AAA 2019 took a short break in the exhibit hall and contributed to the painting for the “Paint for the Profession” event.
The piece has been hung in a conference room, which is used daily by faculty, staff, visiting professors, and guests of the unit and has helped to brighten and bring greater interest to the space.
