About the Colloquium
The purpose of the colloquium is to bring the latest advances in clinical practice to the seniors and graduate students in Speech-Language Pathology and the faculty, particularly in specialized areas that may be difficult to cover in depth within the UND curriculum. Each colloquium consists of a day long presentation by an individual who is a recognized authority in a particular area of communication disorders. In addition, the SLPs who supervise our students in their outside placements are invited. The series has been a popular one, averaging in the neighborhood of 90 attendees per colloquium.
About the Erwin and Colleen Martens Endowment
The CSD colloquium series has been in existence since 2002, but has recently received a much-appreciated financial boost. Initially funded by CSD and UND funds, the colloquium has been underwritten by the Erwin and Colleen Martens Endowment since the spring of 2006. Funding through the Endowment has brought both increased resources and a stable and predictable source of funds for the future.
Colleen received her B.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders from UND in 1984 and her M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology from UND in 1985. Thanks to the Marten’s generosity, CSD at UND has an additional and extremely valuable means of enriching the educational experience of its constituents |
