NSSLHA's Graduate School Fair

The Graduate School Fair (GSF) is an annual event during ASHA's annual Convention. The Graduate School Fair was created for academic programs to recruit and/or interview students for admission and share their vision of communication sciences and disorders (CSD) graduate education.

Any CSD program is welcome to register to exhibit. We particularly encourage undergraduate programs, post-entry level clinical doctoral degree programs, and research doctoral degree programs. Registration for the ASHA Convention is required in order to exhibit at the GSF. School representatives are required to staff their booth the entire time of the fair. Check out who is exhibiting this year.
