Wilsnack named American Psychological Association Fellow

Sharon Wilsnack, Chester Fritz Distinguished Professor of Clinical Neuroscience at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences, was recently named a Fellow by Division 35 (Psychology of Women) of the American Psychological Association (APA).

Fellow status is based on evidence of unusual and outstanding contributions that have had national or international impact in the psychology of women. The Fellow awards were announced at the recent APA convention in San Diego, California. Wilsnack has been a Fellow of APA’s Division 50 (Addictions) since 1997.

“Because the major focus of my research career has been on women, gender, and alcohol use, it is particularly meaningful to me to have the significance of my work recognized by the two APA divisions most closely associated with those areas—Division 50 (Addictions) and Division 35 (Psychology of Women),” Wilsnack said.
