NSSLHA

The Department of Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology maintains an active branch of the National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association (NSSLHA). The Hunter College NSSLHA chapter is student organized and operated chapter offering opportunities for students to interact with others interested in the fields of speech-language pathology and/or audiology.

The chapter performs volunteer work, explores issues that affect communicative disorders and interact to address issues for students and pre-professionals. Student members engage in community activities such as charity walks and volunteer events. There are also opportunities to attend workshops, participate in fundraising activities, and attend national, regional and local educational conferences.

NSSLHA membership is available to any part- or full-time, graduate or undergraduate student interested in the study of communication disorders.
