2015 NSSLHA

It is our mission to provide the opportunities, information, and connections necessary to facilitate the development of professional, well­-rounded, and responsible speech and hearing science students who are better prepared for careers in the field after graduation.

Fresno State NSSLHA offers many opportunities to its members every semester, including but not limited to volunteering events that benefit the greater Fresno area, seminars presented by faculty and related-­field 

speakers, social events throughout the semester, tours of local medical and clinical facilities, individualized on and off campus volunteering opportunities, and connection and networking opportunities with local people and organizations involved in the Speech and Hearing sciences. Additionally, being an active and involved member of Fresno State NSSLHA indicates to the department faculty that you are personally committed to the profession; which strengthens graduate school letters of intent.

National NSSLHA members enjoy a wealth of benefits offered through ASHA. Included in these benefits are discounts on ASHA­approved/sponsored conferences, discounted NSSLHA-­to-­ASHA membership conversion, and mailings of various publications, journals, and magazines.
