The Graduate Student Advisory Board was created as a mechanism for graduate聽students to provide the SLHS Department with feedback about聽what is working聽well and what could be improved within the three SLHS graduate programs (MA-SLP, AuD, and Ph.D.). The聽Board will gather information and bring forward those issues and opinions for which聽there is general consensus among constituents.
The board consists of six members: the SLHS Chair, 2 MA-SLP representatives, 2 AuD representatives, and 1 Ph.D. representative. The full board meets at least one time each academic year and holds additional meetings as needed. The Board representatives meet with their respective constituents at least once each semester typically, these meetings are scheduled聽mid-semester. Students can communicate with their GSAB representative in two ways:聽1) Students聽can submit their issues and opinions by email or聽2) Students can bring forward concerns or issues during the mid-semester meetings that each聽representative聽holds.
It should be noted that the GSAB is intended to address ways to improve the SLHS department's programs as a whole.聽 Issues or concerns about individual students and issues or concerns about faculty behavior are important, but should be directed to the attention of the appropriate faculty member or the SLHS Department Chair.聽 If you would like additional information regarding the roles and responsibilities of the GSAB or聽are interested in being a part of the GSAB please read the Graduate Student Advisory Board Guidelines or email the respective GSAB representative.聽
