Congratulations. . . Dr. Rhonda S. Work has been honored by receiving the 2011 Distinguished Alumni Award for the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Florida State University. This award is in recognition of her contributions during a long career as a speech-language pathologist. Dr. Work served as an itinerant speech-language clinician and supervisor of the county-wide program for students with communication disorders in Broward County, Florida. She then joined the Florida Department of Education as program specialist for students with communication disorders. In this capacity, she assisted all the school districts and the university training programs in Florida in the development of programs for special needs students. Dr. Work served as an adjunct professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at FSU, introducing undergraduate students to the fields of speech-language pathology and audiology. During her career, Dr. Work was active in state and national professional organizations, serving in many leadership positions. She has been a very active member of Delta Kappa Gamma, serving as president of two chapters and currently serving as treasurer of Alpha Kappa Chapter and the Big Bend Coordinating Council. Dr. Work has received numerous honors during her career and at the time of her retirement. This honor, however, coming a number of years after retirement, has special meaning for her.
