In NSSLHA, we try to bring in guest speakers from the speech-language pathology and audiology fields to share their experiences. Members do not have to be in the concentration; some people may be interested in CSD and want to learn more, and some might be considering going into a similar field, like PT/OT. The club also allows for people from different class years to interact and share advice about classes and the grad school application process. We usually try to hold a few meetings a semester, so the time commitment to join is not super intense. At its core, the club serves as a way for CSD students to connect and network with professionals in the field.
The National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association (NSSLHA) is the only national student organization for pre-professionals studying communication sciences and disorders (CSD) recognized by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). Established in 1972, NSSLHA supports nearly 11,000 members and 350+ chapters at colleges and universities nationwide.
