Summary
This initiative focuses on the retention and support of Speech Pathology and Audiology (SPAUD) BIPOC, international, and third-culture faculty and students. Over the years, the program has modified and expanded this small group to achieve a better sense of community, engage in deeper learning about each other’s cultures and cultural values, be more hospitable, and serve as a better support system for one another within the major. Feedback from students and faculty from this group has enabled the department to reflect and implement changes in curriculum, the feedback mechanism in classes and clinic, as well as foster greater interaction among/with students.
