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.
