For example, he recently completed the licensing agreement with Cargill for a genetics line with unique traits. Dr. Dudley's former grad students populate the corn breeding scientists in private companies around the world. He currently is a member of the ACES Executive Committee and teaches both grad and undergrad students. Peter Alfonso
Peter Alfonso joined us professor and head of the Department of Speech and Hearing Science six years ago. He was selected because of his acknowledged status in his field of speech production (a field heavily involved in hard-line sciences) and his research career at Haskins Labs at UConn and the The Institute for Neurophysiology in Nijmegen, Holland. Peter had been selected for support as a Fulbright Scholar in Nijmegen. Despite his duties as unit head, he has continued to publish and play a major role in educational affairs of the 80,000 strong American Speech, Language and Hearing Association. He has completely reformed an ailing department and restored it to major status among peer institutions in the Big Ten, the traditional locus elite programs in his field. Alfonso is about to complete a year as an ACE Fellow working with President Myles Brand, and the Provost at Indiana University, Bloomington. His assignments involved detailed reviews of the impact of budget reform on unit success and a major comparative salary study of all IU branch campuses and colleges.
