Description : Next Generation is a service learning project for Introduction to Professional Practices, undergraduate students. Each student, separately or in pairs, gave a presentation sharing information about speech-language pathology with high school students. The preference is for these presentations to be at a student's alma mater or in a diverse classroom setting (e.g., career readiness courses). The presentations were conducted in-person and students presented for a duration of 30-45 minutes. The goal of this project was for UNO students to gain public speaking skills, familiarize themselves with the profession, and educate participants about a commonly unknown profession.
