If you’re seeking a GW speech and language pathology student, there is no listserv for these students. You’re best bet is to contact Professor Elizabeth Vosseller, MA, CCC-SLP at evoss@gwu.edu. Ask Professor Vosseller if she would email the ad to her students or make an announcement in one of her classes.

Final words: Don’t abuse the privilege.

American University

Unfortunately, American University (AU) has been a disappointment for finding student therapists, despite the reputation of its master’s program in special education. Efforts to find student therapists through this department have been unfruitful.

You might, however, try AU Professor John Gray, who teaches a course in abnormal psychology. His phone number is 202-537-5922. He mainly teaches freshman, who are generally not as dedicated and committed as an older student. But that’s not his fault.
