Mission Statement
The mission of the Northern Arizona University chapter of the National Student Speech
Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA), is to encourage professional interest among college and university
students in the study of human communication sciences and disorders as well as to encourage students to develop
an awareness of community and the positive impact of volunteerism.
Membership requirements (as a member of local NSSLHA)
*You must be a graduate student or undergraduate student in good standing.
- Attendance at bi-monthly meetings
- Purchase of a NSSLHA t-shirt
- A desire to have fun and to become involved in community events!!!
Is there a cost to join?
There is no charge to become a member of your local NSSLHA (although the purchase of a
t-shirt, to be worn at all events, is highly encouraged). There is a $45 fee to join national NSSLHA. This fee
provides you with a wide array of benefits during the calendar year (January to December).
What are the benefits of joining NSSLHA?
Involvement in NSSLHA leads to a fuller appreciation of the professions of
speech-language pathology and audiology and a greater understanding of the issues affecting these fields.
Additionally, you are provided with an opportunity to become involved in community service.

*The annual Contemporary Issues in Communication Science and Disorders (CICSD), a
NSSLHA publication.
- Three issues of NSSLHA’s newsletter, News & Notes.
- The ASHA Leader.
- A print subscription to your choice of one of the following ASHA journals: the American Journal of
Audiology; American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research,

- Reduced registration fee for the Annual ASHA Convention.
- Professional liability, medical and dental insurance plans available exclusively to ASHA and NSSLHA
members (see Seabury and Smith).
- The NSSLHA-to-ASHA Conversion Program, which represents a significant savings on dues and fees for your
