A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn), Ambassador Emanuel Gonzalez Revilla has represented the Republic of Panama to the United States since 2014. In addition to his work maintaining positive relations between the two countries, Ambassador Emanuel Gonzalez Revilla sits on the Board of Overseers of Penn’s Graduate School of Education, which recently announced that several of its faculty members have received recognition from Education Week.
On January 11, 2017, Education Week published its Edu-Scholar Public Influence Rankings list, which was developed by Rick Hess, director of public policy at the American Enterprise Institute. The list recognizes the top 200 US university-based scholars who are influencing educational policy and practice. The honorees were chosen by a selection committee consisting of 27 members, who used a rubric that takes into account the scholars’ influence on public discourse and greater body of work.
Of the 200 scholars recognized, the Penn Graduate School of Education boasts 11 researchers, nine of whom are standing faculty members. Education Week made special note of Penn’s Angela Duckworth and Shaun R. Harper as two scholars, who despite representing a younger academic generation, have earned standing as leading voices in their fields.
