Global Perspectives in Service-Learning (HESP-GPS) is the department’s premier educational abroad program that will provide students with a supervised and multidisciplinary, international service learning (ISL) opportunity for the reciprocal exchange of cultural perspectives, knowledge, and skills.

HESP graduate and undergraduate students in speech-language pathology and audiology have had the opportunity to travel to Ghana for the past two years. 

Using Accra, Ghana as a case study, this course was designed to improve students' effectiveness as clinicians working with diverse clients. The course will explore how differences among individuals and cultures in terms of gender, age, race, socioeconomic background, sexual orientation, religion, language, dialect, or country of origin, can affect interpersonal and group communication, as well as clinical practice. 

Come learn more about this unique opportunity on October 8th at 5:30pm!
