A
note from Student Board Member,
Cassandra Bartlett, B.S.
Welcome
to the Student Section of the MSHA web site.
MSHA annual membership
is $15 and can be submitted online by
clicking here or with a Printable
Membership Form.
MSHA offers
a 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. An online application and Statement of
Commitment form can be found at by
clicking here.
The deadline for submission is Wednesday, Feb 6th
