CSD 4600 - Serving Underserved Individuals with Communication Needs Locally and Globally

This course examines the many factors to consider when serving culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) individuals with communication needs. As both a Community Engaged Learning (CEL) and Diversity (DV) designated course, learner outcomes will focus on achieving a deeper understanding of varying linguistic and cultural mores within common ethnic groups and underserved populations locally and globally. In addition, content will address barriers many CLD and underserved individuals face when accessing educational and medical services. The CEL experience will assist students in integrating key concepts and ideas from course lectures and activities.
