Speech Language Pathology Chapter Maintains Gold Standard
Brittany Fox, B.A., CHCS SLP graduate student and NSSLHA historian and philanthropy chair; and Tambi Braun, SLP.D, CCC/SLP, associate professor and NSSHLA chapter advisor, organize materials for a Pediatric Speech-Language NSSHLA event.
Each year according to the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA), chapters participate in NSSLHA Chapter Honors—vying for gold, silver, and bronze status. Despite the pandemic, stay-at-home orders, and virtual academic programs this past year, NSSLHA chapters persevered, demonstrating just how important community strength is. The NSU Speech Language Pathology (SLP) chapter maintained its Gold Chapter Honors and it was re-awarded in May 2021.
The NSU chapter fundraised for Voices of Hope for Aphasia, Red Nose Day, and the ASHFoundation. The chapter also helped with delivery of needed goods to seniors and helped animal rescues get urgent supplies during the pandemic. The chapter enjoyed hosting many virtual educational opportunities and events to support the College of Health Care Sciences SLP students, faculty, and alumni during the pandemic.
