Join the Student Task Force
We are now accepting applications to serve on the Student Task Force for the January-June 2022 term. The task force consists of a panel of students and EAA professionals who are working towards increasing student membership, fostering professional development and growing student involvement in EAA. Terms last for six months with the option to reapply for up to three terms total. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to network alongside like-minded peers and actively engage within the profession.
The Student Task Force Member is responsible for the following:
- Attending monthly conference calls and additional event-related meetings as necessary
- Participating in the planning and execution of student events
- Attending EAA Conference (if it falls within your term)
- Maintaining EAA membership throughout your term
We are looking for creative, self-motivated, and passionate students to serve your pre-professional colleagues in EAA. Students who are interested in applying for a volunteer position should submit the following materials here.
- Resume/CV (include preferred pronouns)
- Short responses to the following questions (250 word max. per question):
- Why are you interested in volunteering for EAA?
- What ideas do you have to help engage student members?
- Letter of Support (Optional)
- Applications with and without a letter of support will be equally considered. Inclusion of a letter of support may aid your application but omission will not harm your application.
Applications are due Friday, December 10, 2021.
Student Testimonials From Committee Members
Molly Murdock: “I joined EAA to gain a community of students and audiologists who are also interested in working with pediatrics. This community has enhanced my knowledge and offered support for any questions I have about the field of educational audiology or pediatrics.”
Riley Corcoran: “I joined EAA because as a future pediatric audiologist it is important to be an active voice in your patient’s treatment options and that includes having a strong understanding of that child after they leave your clinic. The impact of hearing loss is not in isolation but spreads into many dynamic environments. It is important to recognize the impact of hearing loss from identification through to immersion in the classroom to provide the most appropriate care possible.”
Delphanie Wu: “I joined the EAA Student Involvement Task Force because it is important to me, as an audiology student interested in pediatrics, to be connected to the educational institution with which a child spends the majority of their day. I look forward to learning more about the field of educational audiology, connecting with educational audiologists, and learning how to best support students with hearing loss from both medical and educational settings.”
