Volume 15, Number 2, Summer 2020African American Students and Undergraduate Education: A Critical Social Commentary AUTHOR:
ABSTRACT This commentary focuses on the challenging recruitment and retention matters of African American (AA) undergraduate students in the field of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD). Most recently, Ginsberg (2018a) offers a framework to facilitate the understanding of AA student recruitment and retention matters in CSD using the qualitative responses of AA speech-language pathologists. As a result, this commentary provides insight to the author’s experiences with AA undergraduate students using themes of community, outside resource connections, and culturally competent, caring mentoring. Furthermore, this article provides recommendations for inclusive teaching and learning practices with AA undergraduate students during the current COVID-19 pandemic. DOI: DOWNLOAD FULL ARTICLE |
