The University of Arizona has a tradition of sending students to ASHA's Minority Student Leadership Program (MSLP).
From ASHA's website: the MSLP is a leadership development program established for undergraduate seniors, master's students, AuD students who are enrolled in communication sciences and disorders programs, and post-entry level SLP students who are enrolled in a clinical or research doctoral degree program. The purpose of the MSLP is:
- To recruit and retain racial/ethnic minorities that have been historically under-represented in the professions of audiology and speech-language pathology
- To provide focused educational programming and activities to build and enhance leadership skills
- To provide an understanding of how the association works
- To provide an opportunity for program participants to interact with leaders in the professions of audiology, speech-language pathology, and speech, language, and hearing sciences
You can read more at the link above as well as find application instruction.
