Programs and Activities

National NSSLHA has many programs and activities available to their members to enhance the academic, pre-professional development, and networking experiences for students in communication sciences and disorders. National NSSLHA offers scholarships, grants, career awareness events, student leadership opportunities and more!


Charge Up Your Chapter Campaign

The Charge Up Your Chapter Campaign awards prizes to local chapters that have members who are actively engaged in national NSSLHA and ASHA activities. There are over five awards our local chapter can receive!

Each year, our chapter enters a video contest. Videos will be judged on creativity, message, and relevance to the topic. Videos may be humorous or serious, but—more important—they must convey energy and the ASHA theme. This past years theme was “Changing Minds. Changing Lives. Leading the Way”.Thanks to everybody that participated in filming our video!  

NSSLHA Honors Program

The NSSLHA Executive Council annually recognizes individuals or NSSLHA chapters who make a significant contribution to furthering the Association’s mission.

Two of our members, Sarah Tuoy (SLP) and Brice Coolidge (AuD), were awarded with Member Honors. Also during the 2014-2015 school year, UC NSSLHA was awarded Chapter of the Year Honors!
