Wooten was widely recognized for her contributions as a mentor, scientist, scholar and academic administrator. She was committed to student training and outreach, was co-founder of the Institute for Women in Sciences and Engineering, and she provided leadership in developing numerous education initiatives in science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines. Wooten was also a member of the National Science Foundation ADVANCE program, which focuses on enhancing diversity in STEM fields. Prior to her passing, she had planned to combine her loves of running and COSAM and host a 5k to raise money for scholarships. In honor of her memory, the 5k began in 2010 to see her vision fulfilled.
