  MSHA MINORITY STUDENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

 

The Missouri Speech-Language-Hearing Association (MSHA) Minority Student Leadership Program (MSLP) was created as a prototype of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association Minority Student Leadership Program. The program provides mentoring for ethnic/minority students by professionals who are aware of the many challenges and benefits of being a minority in the profession of speech-language pathology and audiology. The program allows minority students the opportunity to explore, participate, and experience activities that are designed to facilitate leadership. It also provides mentors with the opportunity to impart wisdom and experience to students while enhancing leadership/management skills. This valuable program provides MSHA with an extremely effective vehicle for retaining these future professionals as MSHA members and ultimately, leaders within the state organization.
