Congratulations to Drew Zhu! π This third-year doctoral student and graduate research assistant recently presented at the fourth Biennial Conference on Caregiving Research in Salt Lake City, held Sept. 23-25.
Zhu's study, "The role of aphasia severity, social support, and resilience on caregiver burden in caregivers of stroke survivors with aphasia," explores how communication challenges, support systems and resilience affect people caring for stroke survivors. It's a great example of research that bridges disciplines, with co-authors from the College of Communication and Information, the College of Social Work and the College of Nursing. π
We're proud of you, Drew! π’
