Several of our Purdue SAA members, as well as other Purdue Speech Language & Hearing Science (SLHS) students, spent their day in Indianapolis at the state capitol building. We spoke to several State Senators and Representatives from around Indiana after a morning of advocacy training to talk about our field.
Student advocacy is a great way to get direct involvement with the policies that affect our career as audiologists. We had a great turn out and an even better time.
