What is WSUSSLHA?

The 性色视频 Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association (WSUSSLHA) is a student organization open to all WSU students. WSUSSLHA encourages professional interest among all students in the study of both normal and disordered human communication. It also provides a vehicle for student representation in matters of professional concern.

WSUSSLHA is a local chapter of the National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association (NSSLHA), a pre-professional organization for undergraduate and graduate students in speech language pathology and audiology. This organization promotes departmental and community involvement as well as opportunities for national membership and participation. NSSLHA is the student branch of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), which is the national professional organization for this field.

Social events sponsored by WSUSSLHA include the Faculty/Student "Back-to-School" picnic and the Winter Holiday party. WSUSSLHA serves as a service organization by hosting guest speakers from non-profit organizations and donating both time and money to special events throughout the year.

What benefits do I receive as a member of WSUSSLHA?

• Develop an understanding of the transition from student to professional
• Student representation in matters of professional concern
• Professional growth opportunities
• Develop leadership skills
• Organize social or community activities
• Promote the profession
• Copy machine use in the Clinic student workroom
• WSUSSLHA assists student members who wish to attend ASHA

How do I join WSUSSLHA?

Students may join WSUSSLHA at any time by submitting a completed membership form, along with the dues payment, to the WSUSSLHA Treasurer. Payments may be dropped off at the CSD Office in 401 Ahlberg Hall, or the WSU Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic (Hughes Metropolitan Complex, entrance T).

Membership dues are $15.00 for one (1) year or $25 for two (2) years. For those who initially join in the Spring semester, the fall renewal rate will be prorated to $7.00 for the first year of membership. Form is available at top of webpage or you can pick one up at either the CSD academic or clinic offices.

What is NSSLHA?

• NSSLHA is the only official national student association recognized by the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA).
• NSSLHA has approximately 11,000 members with chapters in more than 301 colleges & universities.
• NSSLHA membership is available to any part- or full-time, graduate or undergraduate student interested in the study of communication disorders.

Master's Graduates or Doctoral Candidates Information on the NSSLHA-to-ASHA Conversion Program and Discount

• What exactly is the NSSLHA-to-ASHA Conversion Discount?
  The NSSLHA-to-ASHA Conversion Discount provides a reduction in the initial membership and certification fees for students when they transfer their membership to ASHA. 
• How will I know if I qualify for the conversion program discount?
  To qualify for the conversion program discount a student must have paid national membership dues to NSSLHA for two consecutive years at the time of graduation from a master's program. 
• What constitutes two consecutive years of national membership?
  If a student is graduating from a master's or doctoral program in 2015, for example, that student must have paid national membership dues in 2014 and in 2015 to qualify for the conversion program discount.
  
  This discount is NOT available to students who are members of the local chapter only (WSUSSLHA). A student must have paid national (NSSLHA) membership dues ($45/annually) to receive this discount. 
• How much of a discount will I receive?
  Students that qualify for the NSSLHA-to-ASHA Conversion Program Discount receive a $150.00 savings off the initial fee of $486.00 for membership and certification in ASHA.
• When is the best time to convert membership from NSSLHA to ASHA?
  NSSLHA members are advised to apply for ASHA membership and certification by the August 31 deadline to ensure that they will receive the conversion program discount. If a student waits until September 1 or later, he/she will lose the discount and will have to pay the recent graduate conversion rate.

Committees

Want to get involved? Contact any officer about joining the following committees.

Graduation Reception
Members work on planning the annual graduation event in May. There is a lot of room for creativity.

Social Events
Members plan informal social get-togethers on a monthly basis, and also work on annual events like the picnic, baseball party, etc. There is plenty of room for creativity and new ideas.

Welcome Committee
This committee is something new we want to try as a way to connect our undergraduate and graduate members. We have many new ideas on how this could be accomplished, including a "mentor-mentee" program for grads and undergrads. This committee will do most of their work during the summer in order to get ready for the fall.

Fundraising
We are always looking for ways to earn money for our organization to support things like ASHA trips for members. Members of this committee will brainstorm, plan, and help execute fundraisers to be done throughout the year (probably one a semester.)

Convocation
This committee will be in charge of planning and doing the Convocation Banner for WSU's Convocation, which is right after school year begins in the fall. The majority of the planning/design will take place during the summer. WSUSSLHA has an impressive past as doing very well in the competition (we won last year), so we want to maintain that presence!

WSUSSLHA holds regular meetings (usually twice a month) in which members, guests, and speakers share experiences with each other.  WSUSSLHA engages as a service organization by hosting guest speakers from non-profit organizations and donating both time and money to special events throughout the year. 

We also provide information for students in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) about the national student organization, the National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association (NSSLHA), and the national professional organization, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). 

If more information is desired, please contact the WSUSSLHA President.
