This semester, students are working on a Social Justice Lesson Plan, in which they are attentive to the needs of emergent bilingual students, students with disabilities, and lessons that center on taking social action.

We hope you can join us on Wednesday, November 30 – 7:30pm-9:30pm, located at SH230.

There will be refreshments available and a brief survey at the end.

The National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA)

NSSLHA is raising money to support student members to attend a state-wide professional conference as an effort to support our student scholars, inspire more students, and diversify the profession to better serve our communities. The California Speech Language Hearing Association (CSHA) holds an annual conference that targets students and professionals in the field with the latest research and professional education opportunities. This is a great opportunity for students to network, and learn about the many ways our profession contributes to the wellbeing of those with communication disorders and differences. This has traditionally been the venue that brings inspiration and excitement in students to continue with their education into the profession. 

This will be the first year since the pandemic that we will be able to send our students to this conference, but only with your help!
