Minority Student Leadership Program (MSLP)

MSHA Minority Student Leadership Program (MSLP)

The MSLP Program provides mentoring for ethnic/minority (graduate) students by professionals who are aware of the many challenges and benefits of being a minority in the profession of speech-language pathology and audiology. This mentoring event takes place during our annual MSHA Convention every year. The program allows minority students unique opportunities to explore, participate and experience various convention activities/events that are designed to facilitate leadership skills and career pathways in speech-language pathology and audiology.

General Student Application Information:
  • Students should be current MSHA members.
  • Please note that student application packets must be received by February 1.
