CSD Colloquium

The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, with the support of Erwin and Colleen Martens, hosts a colloquium each fall.

This one day learning event is offered to invited guests as a “thank you” for service to our department. Our students rely on a network of speech-language pathologists invested in helping to educate future speech-language pathologists through clinical supervision. We appreciate your efforts and will continue to offer the colloquium to show our gratitude.

The colloquium has been approved for 6 hrs of continuing education through the ND State Board of Examiners on Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology.
