The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at UW-Madison is dedicated to fostering an environment free from bias, discrimination, and systemic racism. Our goal is to prepare future leaders who are culturally competent and committed to serving all individuals equitably, to address the lack of diversity in our field, and to create sustained change in our department, on campus, and within our field.
Together, we can make a difference. Join us in creating a more inclusive and equitable future.
