Student Representatives
Our members and associates are why we exist.
Our student associates are the future of our member professions and the association; so we really care what you think.
We stay plugged in to what you need from us through the Director-Student. The Director-Student is an SAC student associate who has been elected to represent student associates on the SAC Board of Directors.
Representing the interests of student members across the country is a large task – and the Director-Student is still a student herself – so she is supported by a team of Student Reps from each school.
As a student associate, you have the opportunity to lead the trajectory of your national professional association by running for one of these rewarding and prestigious positions.
Your 2023-2024 Director-Student
Evonne Syed (McMaster University)
Evonne is currently a first-year speech-language pathology student at McMaster University. Her earliest contribution to SAC dates back to 2021 when she initiated a May Speech and Hearing Month project with a fellow undergraduate student colleague to advocate for the S-LP profession and spread awareness. This resulted in the co-creation of her career resource titled “So you want to learn about speech-language pathology?” which has been published and made available on SAC’s website as part of a news article. This guidebook serves as an introduction to the S-LP profession and was created with the hope of inspiring future generations of S-LPs. It also highlights the need for cultural and linguistic diversity in the field. Evonne strives to advance equity, diversity, and inclusion in the fields of SLP and audiology, and as a trilingual, bicultural, racialized woman. She looks forward to representing and advocating for culturally and linguistically diverse groups.
