The National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (National NSSLHA) has once again awarded the NSSLHA Chapter at Florida State University with 2022 Gold Chapter Honors.

  • Increase advocacy efforts by sending more than 6,500 letters to state and federal legislators
  • Provide scholarships to students in CSD programs by contributing more than $25,000 to the ASHFoundation’s NSSLHA Scholarship
  • Support CSD-related organizations by donating more than $67,000 and approximately 26,000 hours of chapter members’ time

Gold Chapter Honors: NSSLHA 2022“This year, National NSSLHA members raised over $4,000 in support of World Hearing Day, the FSU Speech and Hearing Clinic Playground, the Big Bend HOPE Community, and the FSU Food for Thought Food Pantry,” said Dr. Kimberlee Crass, FSU NSSHLA Faculty Advisor. “Members also organized HOPE Bedtime Stories, NSSLHA Research Rounds, NSSLHA Senior Mentorship, and Graduate School Panel events to promote community involvement and professional enrichment.
