QUEENS COLLEGE–On Oct. 30, Queens College reopened the Gertz building, which houses the Speech-Language-Hearing Center. With the cutting edge improvements made at the newly renovated center, students can make use of the additional spaces, treatment rooms, and technological upgrades that allow for enhanced teaching and clinical education.
“This is a program where the students are serving clients for real, not just reading about how to do this, but they engage in service learning and start practicing their profession,” said QC President Frank H. Wu at the event.
According to Sima Gerber, Professor and Associate Chair for Speech-Language Pathology and Communication Sciences and Disorders, the Speech-Language-Hearing Center was first established at QC in 1942 and Gertz Hall was officially opened in 1961, with its most recent renovation taking place in 1987.
Since 2021, the building has been undergoing renovations and the Speech-Language Pathology Graduate Program has been housed within Kissena Hall 2, located across the street from the main gates of Queens College.
