Students, we hear you! The recent Association Student Member Engagement Survey let us know that Speak Out was one of the main platforms where you like to get your information about the Association and the profession. So, from this edition we will dedicate a page (or sometimes more) specifically with content and information that relates to you. Tell us your news and stories We'd love for you to tell us your stories. What projects are you working on? Do you know a student member who recently won an award, a scholarship or a unique placement? You can send your your student related news and articles to Rebecca Faltyn, Publications Manager, rfaltyn@speechpathologyaustralia.org.au. Will you be graduating soon? The Early Career Reference Group is specificallly for student members who are soon to transition in to the workforce. The group provides a wealth of information and inspiration to help you to make the most of your early career years. You can find the Early Career Support webpage here, and don't forget to join the group's Facebook page.
