Genovese edited a volume of essays in tribute to him, writing that 'It is unusual to become a Mount Rushmore scholar in any one field, but Tom Cronin has made that tremendous accomplishment in two different academic fields - he is one of the most respected American presidency scholars in the nation. And he is one of the most influential leadership scholars.'Cronin earned his Ph.D. in Political Science at Stanford University.
