The NSSLHA faculty advisor is Dr. Brent Gregg.

Our NSSLHA chapter is a very active one that enjoys support from the faculty and administration. Members are routinely involved in activities such as: welcoming incoming graduate students with a luncheon, and assisting them with the registration process; fundraising to support attendance at local and national conventions; increasing awareness of our program and professions through university and community service; arranging for professionals to come to our campus to meet with students and share their professional expertise and experiences; maintaining a job bank for students and prospective employers; and last but not least, fostering social interaction among students, and between students and faculty.
