Dr. Tonya Dantuma is an associate professor and graduate program director at Biola University. She teaches in both the graduate and undergraduate programs, and her teaching interests are in the areas of speech sound disorders, global issues and telepractice, and professional issues in speech-language pathology. Tonya was honored with the Provost's Award for "Excellence in Teaching," naming her the best teacher in 2015 at Biola University. In addition to her classes, Dantuma leads two service-learning trips to Belize and to Uganda, during which she teaches therapy skills, cultural competence, and loving through actions. Dantuma integrates imago dei, all people are created in the image of God, as the foundation for all of her teaching and clinical work. University students, people with disabilities, people who are angry, people who are from other cultures, and people who are different from us are all created in the image of God. As such, they deserve our best treatment, our deepest compassion, and our love. See less
