It is the highest recognition conferred by the Wisconsin Academy.

“The Academy Fellows award honors Wisconsin citizens who through their creativity, their scholarship, and their commitment to the state have enriched all of our lives,” said Robert Mathieu, Wisconsin Academy fellows committee chair. “By recognizing their contributions to Wisconsin and the world beyond, we seek to inspire others to follow in their footsteps.”
