Werhan to receive AAFCS Distinguished Service Award

Dr. Carol Werhan will receive the American Association of Family & Consumer Sciences Distinguished Service Award.

Werhan was an associate clinical professor of Family and Consumer Sciences Education and retired from the College’s Department of Curriculum and Instruction in 2022.

“I am thrilled that Dr. Carol Werhan will receive [this award],” said Janine Duncan, Mary K. “Kitty” Decker Clinical Associate Professor in Family & Consumer Sciences Education.

The Distinguished Service Award (DSA) was established by the American Home Economics Association (AHEA) Foundation in 1979 as a living tribute to members of AHEA (now AAFCS) to recognize superior achievements in family and consumer sciences, outstanding contributions to the family and consumer sciences profession, and sustained association leadership at both state and national levels.
