"Attending the SAA Conference sparked my interest in so many topics that I hadn't previously considered. It's given me a tremendous opportunity to broaden my perspectives, form relationships with AuD students and professionals from around the country, and envision the future of our field. The conference continues to be a highlight of my academic year."
