Renovations to the Speech Clinic - Thanks to an $18,000 grant from the Eva L. and Joseph M. Bruening Foundation, the B-W Speech Clinic underwent major renovations to create two individual therapy rooms with state of the art equipment, an observation facility and more efficient and professional décor. Thus, allowing for the creation of an environment that would mirror professional settings, enhance the learning experience for the Baldwin-Wallace student and the improve the quality of care for our patients. One of the missions of Baldwin-Wallace College is to encourage students to engage in experiential learning. The Baldwin-Wallace Speech Clinic is one of the few programs in the nation where undergraduates can gain concrete clinical experience. This program helps distinguish Baldwin-Wallace College as an exceptional institution for studying Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. The grand re-opening celebration was held on April 28, 2004.
