For the fourth year in a row, A.T. Still University-Arizona School of Health Sciences' (ATSU-ASHS) National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA) chapter has been awarded Gold Chapter Honors, the highest national recognition granted by the NSSLHA.

The award honors chapters that demonstrate excellence across several areas, including leadership development, advocacy and awareness, service to the community, promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and professional growth opportunities.

Led by faculty advisor Ivonne Maldonado De la Rosa, PhD, CCC-SLP, instructor, ATSU-ASHS' Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) department, the ATSU-ASHS chapter earned the distinction as the state's only Gold Chapter Honors winner.

"This distinction places our chapter among the top in the nation and reflects the exceptional commitment, collaboration, and leadership of our students and faculty," Dr. Maldonado De la Rosa said.

The NSSLHA is a national organization made up of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students in the field of CSD. The organization offers students a wide variety of leadership opportunities, scholarships, awards, and advocacy resources.
