Donald L. Wolfarth held a teaching position in the Speech Department at UW-Eau Claire from 1967 until his retirement in 1988. He was active as a judge in the various high school and college debate and forensics events held at UW-Eau Claire. Before his UW-Eau Claire teaching position, he studied with the American Institute of Parliamentarians, being first accredited as a Certified Parliamentarian and then, at the highest rank, a Certified Professional Parliamentarian. In 1969, he created the parliamentary procedure course previously offered in that department with his great expertise in this area. Professor Wolfarth's department chair said of him: "Don was outstanding as a scholar, teacher and colleague. But he was extraordinary as a friend."
