Speech, Language, Hearing Sciences

Spring Symposium

Since the mid 1980's, the faculties of Minnesota State University Moorhead and University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, ND co-sponsor a conference for practicing SLP's and related professionals, and our students every spring.

The conference is held alternately in Fargo-Moorhead and Grand Forks during late March-early April. Please e-mail our secretary at SLHS@mnstate.edu if you want to be on our symposium mailing list.

We have been able to keep the conference very affordable. It costs about $190 (Professional) or $50 (Student) and includes lunch both days of the conference. Also, UND offers a one semester continuing education credit each year.
