The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) partners with The University of Wisconsin-Madison through Project Bridging Voices (PBV) to address the shortage of culturally and linguistically responsive speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and Hispanic and Latino professionals in the field. The initiative functions as a bidirectional student exchange that pairs five graduate students from each institution in a cohort model emphasizing mentorship, peer collaboration, and learning across distinct cultural and clinical settings. Participants complete a ten-day winter clinical immersion at UTEP, working directly with bilingual clients in a Hispanic-majority border community. During the summer, the same cohort engages in mentored research experiences at UW-Madison with structured preparation for doctoral study. Now in its third year, PBV has demonstrated increased student confidence in research and academic readiness. Support from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Multicultural Activities Grant enables full implementation of the reciprocal model. It establishes a framework that national training programs can replicate to strengthen a diverse, culturally competent SLP workforce.
