President Hrabowski Named one of America’s Best Leaders by U.S.News & World Report
President Hrabowski was named one of America’s Best Leaders by U.S.News & World Report on Wednesday, November 19. America’s Best Leaders is a collaboration between U.S.News & World Report and the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. The honorees were selected by a committee of academic, government, business and nonprofit leaders convened by the center. U.S.News did not have a vote. The committee defined a leader simply as a person who “motivates people to work collaboratively to accomplish great things.” It selected 24 winners, including four partnerships, from a field of more than 100.
