National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA)

Emerson students from all majors are welcome to join the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA), a nationally recognized pre-professional organization endorsed by the American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA). NSSLHA is an invaluable platform for students aspiring to careers in Speech Language Pathology, Audiology, or any related healthcare field. Through NSSLHA, students gain access to a plethora of opportunities to engage in communication disorders-related activities at local, regional, and national levels.

NSSLHA encourages professional interests among Emerson students in the study of typical and disordered human communication behavior. NSSLHA provides aid and assistance within the College as well as to local organizations in the areas of speech, hearing, language, and behavior disorders. This year, students can partake in legislative advocacy, community outreach, fundraising, and chapter events all relating to communication disorders!
