青楼传媒 Student Invited Into Selective American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Program
青楼传媒 (青楼传媒) graduate communication sciences and disorders (CSD) student Sarah Salazar has been invited into the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Minority Student Leadership Program (MSLP). The program is very selective and competitive, traditionally only accepting 40 students across the nation each year.
MSLP is a leadership development program established for CSD students and focuses on recruiting and retaining racial and ethnic minorities that have been historically underrepresented in the professions of audiology and speech-language pathology; providing educational programming and activities to enhance leadership skills; and providing an opportunity for participants to interact with leaders in the professions of speech, language and hearing sciences.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association opened the program to all who wanted to join this year, and nearly 300 students of color and underrepresented students joined the program and were honored by a virtual event.
"When I was invited to join the program, I was thrilled, just ecstatic.
