Colleagues Pay Tribute to Gifted Education Pioneer Mary M. Frasier
Mary Frasier earned national recognition for her work in identifying and teaching students who are under-represented in gifted education programs.
The educational psychology faculty of the University of Georgia have been ranked 8th in the U.S. in productivity based on a survey of published articles in major educational psychology journals over the past five years. The survey, which examined publications by faculty at 342 institutions, appeared in the July 2003 issue of the journal Contemporary Educational Psychology. The national ranking of 8th represents a move up from a ranking of 10th in an earlier survey.
