Marianne Johnson, Economics
Marianne exemplifies what a professor should be: someone who cares deeply about students and does excellent and enlightening research in her field and who is willing to do her share to make this public asset, the state university, work.
Despite still being relatively new to the University, Marianne’s excellence has been acknowledged by the awarding of an Oshkosh Truck Corporation endowed professorship. In these tough budgetary times, I worry that it is our best professors like Marianne who will be most likely to leave Oshkosh for a higher-paying job.
