of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences.
Marybeth Lyles Higuera of Palm Desert, Calif., donated the cash to Purdue,
saying its speech program prepared her for a wonderful career as a speech pathologist in California public schools and in
private practice. The new facility in West Lafayette will be called the Lyles-Porter Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences
facility in honor of Higuera’s families.
Purdue officials say the new facility will provide more space for researching
dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, autism, hearing aids, voice disorders and other issues.
