Academic rigor is critical to understand the foundations of multicultural pedagogy, but the addition of authentic experiences is essential to ensuring these foundations become practice. Clinical Seminars offer students the opportunity to discuss topics related to diversity and clinical intervention. Primarily in year-one, students examine cultural influences on communication, communication disorders, language and society through small group discussion. 
Clinical Seminars offer specific teaching that provides a link between theory and clinical application, active learning techniques, and an opportunity for students to become cultural brokers. Pertinent reading and assignments are utilized to enrich the learning experience. All assignments are applied to the one credit elective, HESP 603. Past Clinical Seminar topics have included (but are not limited to): ethnographic interviewing techniques, multicultural material selection, bi-lingual considerations, and linguistic bias.
