Community Service
The BGSU NSSLHA chapter is involved in many community service events throughout the year, including painting pumpkins for
our clinic to use as decorations, serving Holiday dinners and having karaoke night at our local senior center. Other community
service events include playing bingo at local nursing homes, assisting with Woodlane’s Halloween Dance, volunteering at a
local soup kitchen and many more.
Social Events
Every year our chapter hosts a variety of social events in order to encourage our members to meet others interested in the
same career as them. Past social events include; ice cream socials, movie night, making holiday decorations for our annual
holiday potluck, creating teams to be involved in intramural sports, and the Annual Spring Banquet at the end of the semester.
Fundraising
The BG NSSLHA chapter holds various fundraisers throughout the year and all proceeds are donated to help non-profit organizations
in the area of communication sciences and disorders. In the past we have hosted fundraisers to raiser money for:
• The Autism Society of Northwest Ohio
• NSSLHA Loves
• Operation Smile
• Toys for Tot
• BGSU Dance Marathon- Mercy Children’s Hospital
• BGSU Clinic needs
• Sunshine Inc. in Maumee, OH
• And many more…

neuroplasticity, and the benefits of OSLHA and National NSSLHA. We were also honored to have the ASHA President, Dr. Catherine
