NSSLHA provides students at the undergraduate and graduate levels with opportunities for engaging in educational experiences outside of their coursework. Membership in NSSLHA guides preparation for entering the disciplines of audiology and speech-language pathology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Led by a faculty advisor, NSSLHA offers community panel-based educational sessions known as \u201cEd Nights\u201d, open to all students on the WSU Health Sciences Spokane campus, which address a variety of topics related to communication disorders and various health conditions. These sessions are supported by participating interdisciplinary healthcare professionals sharing their experiences in clinical practice. As part of their philanthropy efforts supporting the community, NSSLHA holds fundraisers to support organizations serving individuals with communication disorders across the lifespan. NSSLHA has donated funds to organizations such as the HOPE School, the Stuttering Foundation of America, the Isaac Foundation, the Northwest Autism Center, Vanessa Beehan Crisis Nursery, Ogden Hall, and many other community partners.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div><\/section>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity wsu-spacing-after--none\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading wsu-spacing-before--xxmedium\" id=\"wavelength\">Wavelength Newsletter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Celebrating Program and Research Successes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-spacing-after--none\">Stay up to date on some of the latest program successes and important research underway within the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-carousel\" data-desktop-columns=\"3\">\r\n    <button class=\"wsu-carousel__button-prev\" aria-label=\"Previous slide\"><\/button>\r\n        <div class=\"wsu-carousel__wrapper swiper-wrapper\">\r\n            <article class=\"wsu-card  wsu-color-background--gray-5\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-image-frame wsu-image--ratio-4-3\">\r\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.wsu.edu\/news\/2026\/03\/17\/ai-shows-promise-for-detecting-early-cognitive-decline-through-speech\/\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/3023\/2026\/02\/Wavelength-Solie-Anderson-792x520.jpg\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/3023\/2026\/02\/Wavelength-Solie-Anderson.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/3023\/2026\/02\/Wavelength-Solie-Anderson-396x260.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/3023\/2026\/02\/Wavelength-Solie-Anderson-792x520.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-medicine\/uploads\/sites\/3023\/2026\/02\/Wavelength-Solie-Anderson-768x505.jpg 768w\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\r\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Two individuals sit across from each other at a wooden table in an office-like setting.
