Please, please, PLEASE ask Jordan LeVan to come back! He is one of the best lecturers I have heard in a very long time, and I think he gave us crucial information that we may not have had full context for in other coursework.
– UNC SLP Grad Student
Jordan!!!! He was outstanding! I learned a lot from him and was very engaged with what he had to say for the entire hour. I would have sat and listened to him talk for longer, too.
