Hello everyone!

NSSLHA is a pre-professional student organization geared toward providing information about grad school, career paths, etc. to CSD majors. We meet every other Tuesday in the Pharmacy building 2.108. Each meeting we focus on something different. This semester we will be focusing on Cochlear Implant Kids Day, TSHA, fundraising and having an AWESOME time! :)
