Abstract
Xochitl Regalado, a graduate student at Governors State University (GSU), was selected to participate in ASHA’s Minority Student Leadership Program (MSLP), class of 2023. Xochitl was one of forty undergraduate seniors, graduate, and clinical doctoral students who was selected out of a competitive national selection process to participate in the MSLP. Per ASHA, the MSLP is a leadership development program for communication sciences and disorders (CSD) program students in order to recruit and retain racial/ethnic minorities that have been historically underrepresented in the field of CSD and to provide educational programming to build and enhance leaderships skills, while learning about how ASHA works. Now in her second year of graduate school, Xochitl, holds several titles, including President of the National Student Speech Language & Hearing Association (NSSLHA), Changemaker Fellow of the Great Lakes FAST Fund Consortium, and Library Assistant at GSU. She strives to make a lasting impact across campus and is highly motivated to support and encourage individuals to find their voice. Recently, Xochitl sat down for an interview with her professors, Dr. Danielle Osmelak and Dr. Angela Riccelli, to talk about the opportunity that took her to Boston, Massachusetts, and reflect on her once-in-lifetime experience.
