Abstract

In the spring of 2007, after 30 years of Dr. Yost's leadership at the Parmly Hearing Institute at Loyola University Chicago, Dr. Sid Bacon invited him to join the Department of Speech and Hearing Science (SHS) at Arizona State University. Dr. Yost served as the department chair between 2007 and 2013. Dr. Yost brought a clear vision for how auditory research could grow to best position the department in the modern era of brain research. As department chair, he developed a strategic hiring plan to grow the scope of SHS research and expand faculty expertise in critical areas outside the traditional realm of SHS. This hiring strategy resulted in my coming to ASU. This talk will reflect on Dr. Yost's leadership of the department as well as his support for understanding central auditory mechanisms in my laboratory and the example he set for being a model scientist, a devoted teacher, and a productive scholar.
