NIU Communicative Disorders Student Association

A BIG thank you to everyone who came out and made holiday cards with us!!! The nursing homes will be so happy.🤍

Some moments from our Halloween party!!🧡🤎🧡

STEM FEST RECAP!!!! Thank you to all our volunteers for helping out this past Saturday! We had a successful turnout. For those who don’t know, STEM FEST is a celebration of all things science, technology, engineering, and math. Amazingly, COMDSA falls under that category, so we get to participate in this annual event!! Organizations at NIU and others in the community come together and host all sorts of hands-on activities for guests of all ages, most of which are families and their young children and many middle school field trips. At the COMDSA booth, we had so many fun activities!! We decided this year that we were going to make our own sound booth to lead into audiology awareness month! Through our monitor and microphone, those who participated could see what their voice looked like! We also made fun sound waves out of colorful pipe cleaners and had kids make their own sound waves. Along with that, we also used the International Phonetic Alphabet and transcribed the names of those who stopped by our booth! This was super fun because those who don’t know IPA thought their names looked awesome (which they did, IPA symbols are so cool). We got to see some faculty, alumni, and current SLP’s and Audiologists! It was so fun seeing the joy that the sound booth and our other activities brought to those who stopped at our booth. We all had so much fun, and we look forward to next year!!!

A big shoutout to our guest speaker from tonight’s meeting, Iris Espinoza!! Thank you so much for speaking on the importance of bilingualism and how we as SLP’s work with that every day. You are awesome!!😎😎

Come check us out at the NIU Involvement Fair tomorrow and Thursday to learn all about COMDSA and how communicative disorders are important in your everyday life!! We will be there 11-2, set up by the library! Be sure to take a flyer regarding our first meeting and some candy :)

Well COMD students, it's time to get back into the swing of things! Come on down to NIU's East lagoon tomorrow, August 31st from 3:30-5:00 to enjoy food, games, and social time with fellow COMD students! This event is a great way to get connected and reconnected with fellow classmates.

We hope you can make it!!
