Upcoming Events
Each month we offer a variety of events to our members, including social events, community service, and fundraising. This year, NSSHLA members have already participated in a dance marathon to raise money for children with cancer, met for pizza, delivered valentines to seniors, and participated in a mentor program where graduate students coach under-graduates on applying to graduate school!
