From her longitudinal studies to her skillful guidance as vice chair of the National Mathematics Advisory Panel\, Dean Benbow has courageously spoken out when others might have remained silent\,” Ann Robinson\, NAGC president\, said. “Her most recent effort to change the landscape of opportunities for talented youth involves the National Science Board &#39\;Expert Panel Discussion on Preparing the Next Generation of STEM Innovators.&#39\; It&#39\;s a visionary endeavor. For these reasons and many others\, it was a pleasure to present her with the 2009 NAGC Presidential Award."\nBenbow has served as Patricia and Rodes Hart Dean of Education and Human Development of Peabody College since 1998. An educational psychologist\, she has focused her scholarly work on gifted education and the development of mathematical talent.
