2. May 1st - NSSLHA Honors Nominations for Outstanding NSSLHA Members/Student Due!
Local NSSLHA chapters may nominate one audiology and one speech-language pathology major to receive Member Honors. Member Honors are awarded on the basis of scholastic achievement, service to the academic unit, professional conduct, and service to NSSLHA. Any college or university junior, senior, or graduate student who is a member of both national and the local chapter is eligible for consideration.
