MENTOR PROGRAM

NSSLHA — Fri, 03 Oct 2003 02:04:34 GMT

You know what its like when you begin a new year of classes... new teachers, new books, new information, lots of confusion, well the upper classmen have all been there and we are still experiencing some of it. It would have been so helpful if we had someone to go to for advice in this field of study when we were underclassmen. So, a mentor program was suggested to give you that opportunity if you need it. So, if you are interested in being a mentor for the underclassmen or if you want a mentor's assistance please let the officers know. The following people have shown interest in the program. We have tons of seniors and some juniors signed up but unfortunately we only have a couple of freshman interested.
Freshmen- Abby Warner, Lacie Deeds
Sophomore-
Junior-Kelly Adkins, Jaime Basham
Senior-Jenny Brown, Kara Rollins, Allison Spadero, Abbye Epperhart, Kristen McGrath, Kristin Boggess, Amanda Caines, Nikki Blankenship, Julie Compton, Kelly Dew, Kristel Tupes, Ashley Stover, Rachel Payne, Cindy Reid, Cindy Ezell

We need some excited interest to get this thing going soon!

Meeting Minutes from September 9, 2003

NSSLHA — Tue, 09 Sep 2003 16:44:41 GMT

At this meeting we briefly went over the information on dues and the point system. Dues for this semester or year are due in by the last day of September.

The polo shirt samples are available to be tried on in Ms. McNealy's office. They are green and white and styles are available for both men and women (check preference on order form). Order forms are also available in the clinic library. If you can't pay now you can go ahead and order the shirt. Then when they come in you have to pay to receive your shirt. We need to get the first orders out by the end of this week or next week. Preferrably ASAP!

Entertainment Books- Need order forms to be turned in by 9-16-03. You can talk to Rachel Payne if you need an extension. It takes four weeks for the books to come in.

We are going to send around a survey for the proposed formal. It will include questions such as: Would you attend? How far do you want to go for this formal? How much do you want to spend on the formal?

A mentor program was suggested and therefore we are developing a mentor sign-up sheet for anyone interested. This is mainly for the underclassmen coming into the program. We know how hard it is to begin this program and if those coming up in it could get some tips and advice from the older students we believe it would really help. So, if you are interested sign up. We also discussed a buddy outing to meet each other.

National NSSLHA- $45 a year-get 2 years in NSSLHA plus membership in National NSSLHA you get a reduction in ASHA fees. You also will receive journals.

Look for updates on bulletin board

Flu shots-pay attention to the dates and sign up if you can work the sign in table.

Asked for any ideas...none were provided.
CLOSE OF THE MEETING...until next time.

Polo Shirts On Sale Now!

NSSLHA — Fri, 05 Sep 2003 14:27:58 GMT

Green or white which will you choose? If you can't decide now you have a couple weeks. We have already provided order forms in the clinic library but we understand that after buying books and well... all that other stuff that college kids need...you're probably broke. Therefore, we have decided to have a running order for the next several weeks. The t-shirts are $20 a piece and they show the Marshall "M" with Speech and Hearing Center embroidered beneath the collar on the left side. The shirts and khaki pants may become the dress code in the clinic so don't miss out on your chance to get one!

Meeting Minutes from August 28, 29, 2003

NSSLHA — Fri, 05 Sep 2003 12:22:27 GMT

Here are the minutes from the first meetings held on August 28,and 29, 2003.

-Dues-give to officers/put in sealed envelope and place in the officers' boxes in the clinic library. The dues are $5 for the semester and $10 for the year.
-Point System-we will continue having a point system please visit that topic for more information.
-Events-We discussed having a T-shirt sale: Polo shirts have been selected with the embroidered Marshall "M" and Speech and Hearing Center on them. The shirts will come in green or white and may be available in more colors if they are adopted as the clinic dress code. They are $20 each and there are order forms located by the chalk board in the clinic library.
-For fundraisers we discussed : bake sales, entertainment book sales, and the t-shirt sales. The bake sales will be discussed further once we have reserved a location to hold them. The entertainment books contain coupons, discounts for various businesses in the tri-state area. For those of you interested in books for other areas of the country please talk with one of the officers or visit the website at www.entertainment.com for further information. The books are $20 a piece and part of that will go to NSSLHA.
-FLU SHOTS! We have been requested to work the check-in table during the flu shots given by the nurses at our own MU School of Nursing. The flu shots will be held October 27 at 12p-4p, 28 at 10a-4p, 29 at 10a-4p.
-Wear Your Shirts! It was mentioned that when we attend fundraisers or community events we should wear our new polo shirts with our logo. This will spread word to the community about the speech and hearing clinic at Marshall University.
-We ended the meeting by having everyone introduce themselves.
-Hope to see you at the next meeting, but remember if you can't make it to check online or at the bulletin board in room SH108 for the meeting minutes!

Spring Social- 2003

NSSLHA — Mon, 05 May 2003 22:49:52 GMT

NSSLHA held its spring social this year at Ritter Park in Huntington. Graduate students, faculty, and NSSLHA members attended. We had a ball!!

Here are a few pictures from the picnic:

Students socialize with each other and faculty while snacking.

Cindy R. gives out the instructions for her rather complex, but fun relay race.

Dr. Gardner and Ms. Chezik relax in the shade while waiting to judge the relay race.

Cathryn throws the hula hoop over Julie's head to help her team win in the relay race.

Frances races to the finish to help her team win the relay race!

Students and faculty race to the finish in their sacks.

Alissa Shamblin & Amy Knell try to beat out their mentors, Mrs. McNealy & Mrs. Chezik, in the sack race.

Mrs. McNealy and Mrs. Chezik look at each other puzzled, trying to figure out how they could have lost the race.

JoAnna and her team work together with the plates to win the plate toss race.

Everyone lines up with their partners for the egg toss.

Allison demonstrates the proper technique for the egg toss--Soft Hands

Everyone BEWARE!! Mrs. Chezik's egg broke!

Egg on your face?? Jada laughs as Frances' egg splatters all over her!
