Minority Recruitment Strategies

Background:

Significant shortage of minority professionals in speech-language pathology and audiology.
Predominantly White institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) face challenges in minority student retention.
Need for innovative recruitment and retention models to address diversity gaps.

Purpose of the Study:

To detail a cooperative sisterhood agreement between a predominantly White university and an HBCU.
To increase the number of minority students in speech-language pathology and audiology programs.
To offer a replicable model for other institutions seeking to enhance diversity.

Main Methods:

Establishment of a sisterhood agreement focused on minority recruitment and retention.
Collaboration between faculty from both institutions.
Program is in its early stages, with ongoing evaluation planned.

Main Results:

The sisterhood program is in its initial phase and has not yet yielded long-term results.
The agreement aims to provide financial, academic, and emotional support for minority students.
Faculty collaboration on research and scholarly activities is anticipated.

Conclusions:

The sisterhood agreement represents a proactive approach to addressing the shortage of minority professionals.
Further evaluation is necessary to determine the program's effectiveness in supporting student success.
This model offers a potential solution for universities committed to increasing diversity in communication sciences and disorders.
