National Student Speech Language Hearing Association
Welcome to the New Mexico State University NSSLHA chapter! We are a pre-professional organization that provides opportunities for both graduate and undergraduate students in the Communication Disorders Program here at NMSU. NSSLHA is active within the campus and is involved in various community service events throughout the year. NSSLHA gives members the opportunity to network with their peers and professors.
Membership to the national chapter of NSSLHA requires a student to be registered in a program related to communication sciences, such as NMSU’s Communication Disorders degree plan. National membership is open to students ranging from the undergraduate to the doctoral level.

Cards for Raul

Raul Madrid
Within our chapter, we have the privilege to volunteer with amazing people. One we take dearly is our fantastic and talented friend, Raul. Raul is 62 diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. He understands everything around him and uses an AAC device to help him communicate or use his right foot to answer. Raul has a talent and love for painting with his feet! He loves to create art and make cards. With the help of volunteers, he can create and sell his art. He is selling 8 cards for $20. If you are interested in purchasing, please contact our VP of Activities (vpofactivitiesnsslha@gmail.com) for more information. Raul also accepts donations and that can be completed with sending your amount to our NSSLHA Cash App ($NMSUNSSLHA) or PayPal (treasurernsslha@gmail.com) and adding 'Raul Donation' in the description box.
