Michelle Quinn, an Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Communicative Disorders, received the 2012 Outstanding Service Award from the Wisconsin Speech Language Pathology and Audiology Association.
Her award was presented at an Honors Banquet held at the WSHA Convention in Milwaukee, Wis. on Feb. 24, 2012.
Quinn was honored for her recent trip to Guatemala with four graduate students. Quinn organized, coordinated, and supervised the work as the graduate students assessed the language and pre-literacy skills of forty preschool children in Antigua, Guatemala.
The students included Ruby Braxton, Rose Heckenkamp, Amanda Murphy and Caitlin Klukas who are proficient in spoken Spanish.
The project was coordinated with the NGO Common Hope.
