Four faculty members from the College of Letters & Science at UW-Madison were elected 2011 Fellows to the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters.
The fellows are:
- Atmospheric scientist Steven Ackerman
- Geologist Robert H. Dott, Jr.
- Economist Donald A. Nichols
- Historian Jeremi Suri
Established in 1981, the Fellows program represents the highest level of recognition conferred by the Wisconsin Academy. Fellows are elected for their extraordinary levels of accomplishment in their fields as well as a lifelong commitment to intellectual discourse and public service.
These distinguished individuals from a wide range of disciplines help the Wisconsin Academy shape its programs and projects.
To be considered, one must have or have had a meaningful relationship with the state of Wisconsin and be highly esteemed for qualities of judgment, perceptiveness, and breadth of knowledge of how literature, art and science contribute to the culture and welfare of the state.
Congratulations to the L&S Fellows!
