NSSLHA= National Student Speech Language Hearing Association. What a mouthful, right? :)
Life at Purdue is far too exciting to spend alone. While dragging yourself to a NSSLHA event in the midst of whatever crazy Indiana weather we currently face may seem mundane and trivial, it is anything but! (Last December we trudged to the All Fired Up social on a snowy night!) We eat pizza and fundraise and learn more about our future profession- and through all of these seemingly insignificant tasks- we become a united group of aspiring Speech Language Pathologists. I have made some fantastic friends through NSSLHA!
This semester, we will have a scavenger hunt, host Crossroads, provide opportunities to job shadow through GLASS, hear from relevant guest speakers, learn more about graduate school, and host a Trick or Treat event for children who attend the clinic.
Why do I love NSSLHA? Because it is so much more than a resume builder. NSSLHA provides the gifts of connecting with other students in your major, sharing in the defeats and triumphs of academic life, and partaking in the common passion of helping others. Specifically, helping those who are NOT exactly like ourselves: the disabled, the elderly, the young…
So here’s to loving our campus, community, and field of study together.
