Student Associations
JMU NSSLHA
The JMU chapter of the National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association (NSSLHA) gives students better insight into the professional world of speech-language pathology and audiology. It provides opportunities for students to meet their peers and form relationships with their professors. NSSLHA works to educate students interested in communication sciences and disorders on topics related to the field. NSSLHA believes the faculty is a very important influence on the students, and that students can make significant contributions to the faculty, as well. NSSLHA has begun offering more social events to include students and faculty, fostering interaction in a relaxed environment.
