Students Get Real-World Experience Working at Operation Breakthrough
Rockhurst University students studying speech-language pathology and occupational therapy take their work in the classroom and put it to use with children in poverty at Operation Breakthrough. Interacting with patients and evaluating on the spot can't be taught easily in a class, so our students have the opportunity to do so in a practical and safe environment.
