Wohlert was recognized for her contributions to research in the neuromuscular control of speech production and for her service as an administrator and as chair of the Council on Academic Accreditation in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology.
“I’m grateful to be recognized by colleagues who know me well, and to join so many others whose work I admire,” said Wohlert. “Speech-language pathology has been an exciting and rewarding profession for me, and I’m especially proud of UNM’s outstanding role in preparing students to share in that profession.”
The status of Fellow is retained for life and is one of the highest honors ASHA can bestow. It recognizes professional or scientific achievement and is given to a member who has shown outstanding contribution to the professions—contributions that are significant and would be so regarded within and beyond one's community or state.
