within the community, such as the ULM Speech and Hearing Clinic Fall Festival, the
annual Research Update Conference sponsored by Speech-Language Pathology, NSSLHA silent
auction fundraiser, Conference on Aging sponsored by C.A.B.L.E., and Race for the
Cure. The chapter also participates in Better Hearing and Speech Month activities
each May. Recruitment occurs throughout the year. Officer elections are held annually
in the fall and are open to both undergraduate and graduate students. In addition
to being a member in the local chapter, students are also encouraged to affiliate
with the national chapter. For more information about this organization, contact Amanda

Scholarly Activity
Faculty members serve as mentors to graduate students conducting research that is
subsequently presented at the annual Research Update Conference sponsored by Speech-Language
Pathology and the ULM Research Symposium. The research is also submitted for peer
review and is often accepted for presentation at state, regional, and national conferences.
Students and faculty present research at the annual conferences of the American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association.
