Ralph Ketcham, an advocate of efforts to revitalize citizenship education, has been named “professor of the year” by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, an association of colleges, universities, and independent schools.

A Syracuse University professor of political science, history, and public affairs, Mr. Ketcham proposed a mod4el curriculum for a civics course that New York high schools will require next year.
