Chair’s Message
WELCOME FROM OUR CHAIR
Dr. Charles Ellis
Welcome to the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences (SLHS) at the University of Florida. Our department is fully committed to serving the local, university, state and global community as we strive to improve the lives of individuals with communication and related disorders.

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, ACCESS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE
The Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences is fully committed to the tenants of diversity, equity, inclusion, access and social justice for our students, the UF community and the greater global community. It is our aim to create a learning, living and working environment that affirms dignity, worth and value of all individuals who engage with our department. We further strive to cultivate an environment that subscribes to diversity, openness, and respect, as well as being a place of safety for all our constituents. In our attempts to create and cultivate this environment, we realize we must engage in ongoing learning to understand, value and support individual differences including, but are not limited to race, ethnicity, national origin, religious and spiritual beliefs, gender, sexuality, physical and mental abilities, size and appearance, and socio-economic status. Finally, we recognize that we operate within a global community that can be influenced by racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, heterosexism, xenophobia, ableism, and other forms of marginalization and oppression. We, however, will strive to overcome those influences while creating a learning and working environment that is respectful, equitable, inclusive and offers comprehensive access to all.
