Speech-language pathology program takes on multicultural/bilingual emphasis

The M.A. program in speech-language pathology is now identified as having a multicultural/bilingual emphasis. This year the faculty added a new one-credit course to the curriculum as one way to address the goals of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association for building cultural competence among clinicians providing services to an increasingly diverse population.

The course, entitled "Special Topics in Speech-Language Pathology: Multicultural Issues" was taught by Ms. Garza-Prisby and incorporated invited speakers such as the new WSU Associate Provost for Diversity and Inclusion, Dr. Marquita Chamblee. Our M.A. clinical training program also builds student cultural competence through supervised placements with diverse client caseloads.

Changes to the WSU landscape include the M-1 Rail, which will open for passengers in less than a year. The "QLine" will run along Woodward Avenue with a stop right outside our Rackham building. Construction of this modern streetcar line is fueled by a public-private partnership and will unite Detroit communities and serve as a catalyst for economic development. The QLine will allow us quick access to shops, restaurants, and sports events in downtown Detroit.
