A final reflection on the Speech@Emerson Immersion

Thank you to our students who travelled to Boston and demonstrated eagerness, enthusiasm, and willingness to bond with their classmates, to share their thoughts, to provide feedback and ideas. We are so grateful for you!

We also want to thank those that organize and host this event/course. Huge thanks go to the CSD team and our Immersion Support Specialists. We could not do this without you!

Until next time…December 2026!

On behalf of the CSD Department, we want to welcome our distance education students to Immersion (August 2026)! Students in both our 5-term and 9-term tracks attend and participate in a variety of activities across three days.

Day 1:
*Resource fair: meet and interact with staff from central offices at Emerson, including the library, Student Accessibility Services, Health and Wellness, among others. Thank you to all of those staff who took time to attend.

*Welcome to Emerson: Our Provost, Alex Socarides, and CSD Department Chair, Nydia Bou, welcomed our students with powerful messages regarding the important work they will do as future Speech-Language Pathologists, and how they will be change makers in the profession.

*Getting to know you and each other: Students shared a bit about each other including where they live, their undergraduate majors, what populations they may want to work with as they begin clinical practicum soon. In a distance education program it is important that we create meaningful opportunities to connect.

*Research chat: Students engaged in discussions regarding research they completed in Research Methods and how to apply these principles in clinical settings

*First year forum: it is a time-honored tradition to receive student feedback regarding what are glows about the program thus far and what are some grows, areas in which we can improve as a program. This feedback is important as we often implement changes based upon student experiences or continue to strengthen areas in which things are going well.

*Optional activities to end day one

We are so thankful to have these students in our program and are looking forward to two more days of learning together!

Pictures: several pictures of the large room and students seated at round tables. Various slides are projected. Signs welcoming students to Immersion.
