Audiology Director Wendy Hanks Earns Tenure

Dr. Wendy Hanks PhD, director of the School of Audiology in the College of Health Professions, has earned tenure from Pacific University.

Hanks joined the Pacific faculty in 2013 after previously serving as director of the the Doctor of Audiology Program at Gallaudet University, and as a faculty member at Towson University and Brigham Young University. She has also worked as director of audiology in a hospital setting and private practice. She holds a bachelor of science in educational psychology and a master of communication disorders, both from Brigham Young University, as well as a PhD in audiology from Wichita State University.

As a transplant to the area, Dr. Hanks enjoys exploring the wonders of Oregon and spending as much time as possible with her grandchildren. She will continue to be a fan of all BYU sports, especially football, but is now a fan of Boxer football, too.
