Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association

The primary opportunity for enrichment activity is provided through the Sigma Alpha Eta/National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association student chapter. The chapter hosts several social events throughout the year, including a Welcoming Luncheon to new majors in the fall and a Winter Holiday dinner at the end to the fall semester. The student chapter also plans, organizes, and executes a professional conference each spring semester. In consultation with faculty advisors, students identify topics and speakers, coordinate space and materials, and promote the conference to professionals in the region. Although chapter officers are typically graduate students, they solicit and welcome the involvement of undergraduate students as well.
