Fort Hays State University's National Student Speech-Language Hearing Association will host its 3rd annual Soup Fest fundraiser Oct. 20 from 5-7 p.m. in the Albertson Hall Lobby. The association is a student organization in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders.
Proceeds from the event will go to offset expenses of families with children receiving services at the FHSU Herndon Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic.
The clinic’s primary purpose is to provide undergraduate students in communications sciences and disorders and graduate students majoring in speech-language pathology hands-on experience providing services in speech, language, and hearing.
Soup Fest is open to the public. The cost is $10 for three samples and one bowl of soup, dessert, and drink. Attendees are encouraged to vote on their favorite soup and tour the Herndon Clinic.
“Soup Fest has been a great way to reach out to the community in a fun and friendly way, while providing awareness of the Herndon Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic and fundraising for our client scholarships,” said Ciara Kern, graduate student and National Student Speech-Language Hearing Association member. “As a student, it is an exciting time to interact with the community while enjoying some wonderful soup.”
