Why We Love NSSLHA
"I have gained so much confidence through this organization, and I am so thankful to be part of it. Join NSSLHA!"
Hannah Babin, UA chapter President 2022-23
"I love NSSLHA because of the wonderful peers, professors, and professionals in the field of speech-language pathology that I've had the privilege of working with and learning from. NSSLHA allows students to explore different specialties of their future profession with guest speakers, engage in community outreach and advocacy events, and form meaningful connections along the way. It is truly the best organization and I am so thankful to be part of it!"
