GW's chapter has received Gold Chapter Honors from the National NSSLHA Executive Council in 2024.
Group activities include graduate school information sessions, speech-and-hearing-related movie nights, career panels, volunteer opportunities with local libraries and much more. Follow the GW group on Facebook, Instagram @gw_nsslha for more information, or email gwnsslha
