Why Join the Student Academy of Audiology?
The most valuable national SAA membership benefit is the student voice. The national SAA is dedicated to making sure the student voice is heard in the discussions involving audiology students and the progression of the profession. In addition to advocacy resources, the SAA provides educational opportunities that span outside of the standard curriculum, practical resources for the everyday audiology (or soon to be) audiology students, as well as additional savings and discounts on Academy member benefits and services to help lessen the financial load many students carry. If you have any questions about the national SAA or becoming a national SAA member, contact our membership department.
