Campus Connection: UW education scholars shine in ?public presence’ rankings

Four UW-Madison professors earned recognition from Education Week blogger Rick Hess as being among the top 50 most influential education scholars in America. That figure was more than all other Big Ten Conference institutions combined, with the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor placing two academics in the top 50 and Northwestern one. Those being recognized on the UW-Madison campus include: Gloria Ladson-Billings, Adam Gamoran; Sara Goldrick-Rab, and Douglas Harris. John Witte, a professor of public affairs and political science, was also recognized.
