Beyond the Classroom: Expanding the CDIS Undergraduate Experience

A Project by OSU Department of Communicatio

Your gift gives Communication Sciences and Disorders (CDIS) undergraduate students opportunities to learn beyond the classroom and pursue exciting careers in speech-language pathology and audiology.

Every contribution supports hands-on, faculty-mentored experiences in research, clinical learning, technology, and community engagement. Your generosity can help provide paid student fellowships, project materials, opportunities to present research, and other experiences that prepare students for graduate education, future careers, and service to their communities.

Thank you for investing in our students and helping shape their futures—and, through them, positively impacting many individuals and families they will serve throughout their careers.
