Marywood University Chapter members of the American Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association recently volunteered at the two-mile Walk to End Alzheimer’s, which was held at the PNC Field, Moosic, Pa.

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s Walk raised $97,742 through the efforts of more than 600 participants. Held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and fund for Alzheimer’s care, support and research.

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is the professional organization that determines the standards and ethics by which speech-language pathologists and audiologists practice their profession. ASHA also has a division called the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) that is responsible for determining accreditation standards for graduate programs in speech-language pathology and/or audiology.
