In 2023, the department’s strategic planning set a clear direction around three priorities: One CSD, connecting science to practice and building a shared identity across programs; Breaking Silos, accelerating cross-disciplinary partnerships within Northwestern and beyond; and Amplifying Voices, ensuring our work resonates across campus, our professions, and the communities we serve. This Fall 2025 newsletter reflects that trajectory. It is also a special issue, shaped by a quarter in which the external funding climate felt especially stark and uncertainty was high. Even so, faculty, staff, students, and trainees stayed ambitious and collaborative, emerging more resilient and more aligned.
That momentum shows up throughout this newsletter. Scholarship and training continued to thrive, from major publications and grant activity to student and trainee achievements in academia and industry, national presentations, and high visibility invited talks. “Breaking Silos” translated into concrete outcomes, including the annual Knowles Hearing Center symposium that convened national and international leaders to advance hearing care and wellness, alongside growing engagement around responsible, high-impact AI in communication sciences and disorders. Our service mission remained front and center through community partnerships and practical outreach, including communication access training for organizations serving people with aphasia and new technology-enabled screening initiatives. We also strengthened our cross-program alignment and collaboration via CSD Connects, an expanding forum for invited talks that spans the entire research-to-clinic translational spectrum. Internally, we continued operationalizing One CSD through implementation of new bylaws and committee structures, creating clearer governance, shared ownership, and sustained progress. Our research-to-community model is also being recognized beyond the department; the Northwestern University Leadership Circle recently highlighted how annual giving helps extend its impact. We carry this energy into 2026, with an exciting lineup ahead across research, education, clinical translation, and community impact.

CSD Connects Expands with Grand Rounds and Standing Room Only Success
CSD Connects delivered a high impact Fall quarter, with several sessions drawing standing room only crowds and energetic cross program participation. The series meets on the third Monday of each month from 12:00 to 1:30 pm. It is a department wide forum where scholarship, clinical practice, and professional learning intersect. This fall’s highlights included sessions led by Professor Megan Roberts on strengthening autism evaluation access and translating evidence into practical pathways for timely support. Professor Pam Souza led a session on the rapidly evolving over the counter hearing aid landscape and offered clear guidance for clinicians supporting patients and families.
Fall also marked the expansion into a new format, CSD Connects Grand Rounds. This case based, interdisciplinary series focuses on clinical decision making and the evidence behind it. A flagship example was the November 17 Grand Rounds session, Diagnostic Uncertainty: How Biases and Information Shape Decisions, led by Research Assistant Professor Maranda Jones and Professor Megan Roberts. The session used a toddler autism case to highlight how collaboration and critical thinking improve decisions. Looking ahead, CSD Connects will continue to grow across complementary formats. CSD Connects Research features invited talks that elevate cutting edge scholarship and catalyze collaboration. CSD Connects Grand Rounds creates a structured space for translation through cases and discussion. CSD Connects Research Spotlight is a standing format for bite sized doctoral student work in progress presentations that will be featured in upcoming programming. We look forward to an exciting 2026 lineup.
