Diversity, Inclusion and Equal Opportunity
Faculty instruction in the MS SLP program occurs in an atmosphere of fairness, equity, and justice, emphasizing creative learning, excellence in clinical evaluation and treatment, ethical and professional integrity, advocacy, and cultural competencies. We model and encourage our students to promote a welcoming and open environment where all can learn and engage. We are focused on fostering a sense of belonging and feelings of value in our department community and to those we serve in the field. Our department is committed to providing academic knowledge and clinical skill instruction that supports evidence-based practice for all people serviced in the field of speech-language pathology. Our obligation when training students for independent practice in the field of speech-language pathology includes providing them with the knowledge to be culturally competent and ability to reduce healthcare disparities for their clients.
We are committed to diversifying the field of speech-language pathology as we are acutely aware of the under representation of minorities in the field. This commitment includes department initiatives to recruit and retain students who identify as diverse. Diversity may include but are not limited to ethnicity, age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical abilities, mental abilities, and values. We recognize that the presence of diversity does not equal equity and inclusion. Our obligation to as a department is to routinely assess what it means to be culturally competent and to consistently examine barriers and biases that may limit students from being successful in the program.
