Five faculty members have received one of the University of Michigan’s highest honors as Distinguished University Professors and Ruth was one of them.
The Board of Regents approved the appointments July 15. They are effective Sept. 1, last throughout the recipient’s period of active service at U-M and may be retained after retirement.
The Distinguished University Professorships were established in 1947 to recognize senior faculty with exceptional scholarly or creative achievements, national and international reputations for academic excellence, and superior records of teaching, mentoring and service. Each professorship bears a name determined by the appointed professor in consultation with his or her dean.
Distinguished University Professors are invited to give an inaugural lecture early in their appointments.
