Student Organizations

NSSLHA

The National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association (NSSLHA) is open to SLHS students interested in learning more about the professions of speech-language pathology, audiology, and speech and hearing sciences. This group invites speakers from the community, promotes volunteer work, and raises funds to support various endeavors including our on-campus clinics and travel for students attending the annual American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Convention.

ASL Club

The American Sign Language (ASL) Club brings students together to practice ASL Skills outside of the classroom. This group promotes appreciation and respect for ASL by offering films and events for the public. Popular annual events include the Hands on Fire concert and performing the National Anthem at halftime of a Butler men’s basketball game.

Student Assistants

There are opportunities to work closely with faculty members in the SLHS Program. The opportunities include:

  • SLHS Office Manager—A SLHS student organizes the office work area and the Butler Speech-Language Clinic. Responsibilities include correspondence with other professionals, updating clinic files, and managing various office duties to meet program and faculty needs.
  • Research Assistants—SLHS students work with faculty on research projects including literature review, data collection and organization, data analysis, and manuscript preparation. Students may have the opportunity to present research results at professional state and national meetings.
  • Mentored Teaching Opportunities—Qualified students work with faculty on the development and presentation of the course curriculum.  Student responsibilities may include preparation and organization of course materials, management of small group projects, assistance with class discussion, and tutoring.

American Sign Language (ASL)

The Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences program offers four semesters of ASL. Grammar, practical use, and Deaf culture are all incorporated into the courses. Classes are taught in immersion style and students may select a service learning component in ASL 3 and 4. Service activities are available at the Indiana School for the Deaf and other facilities. ASL is considered a useful language for professionals.
