Faculty members and students present included: Dr. Dean, Dr. Dede, Dr. Marrone, Dr. Casteix, Dr. Velenovsky. James S., Mary Rose D., Morgan N., Carly R., Andrew G., Andrew C., Nick R., Johna T., Jimmy G., Stephanie R., Giau L., Daisey S.
1) Giau has already contacted Leticia to coordinate outreach to undeclared majors at the University of Arizona, and is waiting for Leticia’s response. 2) Andrew G. suggested the idea for AuD students to teach an introductory Audiology course through the GPSC “Graduate Enrichment Program” by which our students would get paid to teach the course and fundraise for SAA, and outreach to undeclared majors. 3) Dr. Casteix emphasized the importance of creating an SAA mission statement to maintain our chapter focused on achieving our goals such as outreach.
1) Begin a mentorship program between 3rd and 4th year AuD students to mentor 1st and 2nd year AuD students (similar to the SLP students’ “Pass the Torch” program). This will allow students near the end of their studies to pass along valuable knowledge and experiences to students in earlier stages of the program. 2) Dr. Dean suggested we maintain a close relationship with the UofA NSSLHA chapter, and assign a liaison to keep communication up to date with NSSLHA. Dr. Dede shared that Kelly V. (undergrad NSSLHA officer) has volunteered to serve as a liaison between SAA and NSSLHA.
1) Giau suggested we begin to build close relationships with Audiologists in the Tucson area to expand our student’s networking opportunities and host educational forums with professionals in the field.
1) Several students have suggested the idea to create a committee (with one student representative from each cohort) to meet with faculty members/advisors to voice feedback/concerns/suggestions to a group of faculty members or advisors. 2) Several faculty members present expressed their concern that this committee should first meet with SAA advisors, as this may avoid repercussions, confrontations, and arguments. 3) Mary Rose and Lynn suggested SAA should first create a clear protocol for this committee to follow when meeting with faculty members.
1) This is an opportunity for our AuD students to help through the “Healthy Hearing Program” and join other SAA chapters to serve the community.
1) Dr. Dean mentioned the hearing screenings program at El Rio (Hollywood Barrio) that took place last year, and will continue in March, 2013. He mentioned Nick and Nydia’s involvement in providing services to those with little access to health care, and creating a hearing prevention program for young adults.
