Duane Fish, '71 - wins award

Dr. Duane Fish, professor of speech communication and chairperson of the Communication Divison at Northwest College, was awarded the 2008 Distinguished Service Award from the American Forensic Association -- one of the highest honors within the collegiate forensics community. This is a ground-breaking award, since the award has previously been given only to faculty who teach at 4-yr colleges and universities. Fish is the first community college instructor to receive it. The AFA award recognizes long-term service to the American forensics community and takes into consideration positive impact on the field, educational practices, community development and serving as a model for AFA professionals.

The CHS Class of 1971 is PROUD of Duane -- and Wynona Thompson would be proud, too!!
