UWG Speech Language Pathology Program

Class of 2026, M.Ed. SLP 🎓

What began as a group of students became a cohort of clinicians, advocates, and future colleagues. From tough classes to comprehensive exams to MBSImP trainings, clinic, externships, and long nights together, this group worked hard for every moment of today.

Wherever they go next — schools, medical settings, private practice, and beyond — we know they will make a difference in the lives of others.

Congratulations, graduates. Go Wolves. 🖤🐺
