Summary of Evaluation: Teaching: Professor Young is an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher and mentor. When she arrived on campus in July 2009, she volunteered to teach a first-year College-wide course, Engineering 100: Introduction to Engineering. She also developed and taught a new graduate course in advanced marine hydrodynamics, NA520: Wave Loads on Ships and Offshore Structures. She excelled in both, illustrating her strong commitment to teaching and an ability to engage graduate students in the area of complex f1uid-structure interactions. Professor Young is known as an energetic and committed instructor. The student letters describe Professor Young as a professor concerned about student learning and willing to take extra effort to engage them in the learning process. Professor Yow1g's graduate advising and one-on-one Ph.D. mentoring has been very strong. She will have graduated three Ph.D. students by May 2011. Her research group now at Michigan includes five M.S. and doctoral students and two postdoctoral scholars. It is also a measure of the effectiveness Professor Young's mentoring that all of her students, including undergraduates, are encouraged to publish and present the results of their research in archival journals and at international conferences.
Research: Professor Young's research activities are extensive, varied, and substantial. Professor Young conducts research in a wide variety of topics related to hydrodynamics with interests spanning multi phase flows, flow-structure interactions, hydro-energy conversion, coastal processes, and biomedical engineering. She has worked most extensively in the area of flow structure interactions as they occur in hydrodynamic systems. Of particular note is her work in the area of the hydro-elastic response of marine propulsors to varying flows and loads. Her work has led to the development of physics-based numerical models that are now being used by the U.S. Navy for the design and evaluation of composite-bladed propulsors that will "self-adapt" to changing flow conditions in ship wakes and as they interact with free surfaces. Professor Young has extended her modeling effort to include extreme flow structure interactions that occur during underwater explosions, developing an Eulerian compressible multiphase fluid solver mated with a Lagrangian solid solver that are coupled at the solid-fluid interface. Professor Young was recognized with an Office ofNaval Research (ONR) Young Investigator Award in 2005. Professor Young's research program has been supported by a wide variety of sources. She has been the PI or co-PI on over a dozen research grants and contracts, supported by external funding of over $2.6 million of which approximately $1 .3 M is at the University of Michigan. Professor Young has been extremely productive, having authored or co-authored over 40 archival journal publications, with 17 of these published over the last two years. The impact of her work is expected to grow given the overall trajectory of her research and publication record.

Service: Professor Young has made important service and leadership contributions to both the University and to professional organizations. Her willingness to teach ENG I 00 as a first time UM faculty member represents an impressive service contribution to both the department and College. In addition to serving on Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Ph.D. qualifying exams committees, she is also a member of the important Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Chair Search Committee and the Marine/Naval CFD (Computational Fluid Dynan1ics) Junior Faculty Search Committee. Perhaps more impressive is Professor Young's national and international service portfolio. She was or is active in service roles including: a representative of the U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNC/T AM); member, co-chair, or chair of SNAME, ASME, ICT AM, CAFOE - National Academy of Engineering, and ONR conferences, workshops, and symposia committees; and invited speaker at national and international meetings and conferences. These activities and their associated impact show that Professor Young has the visibility of a generally more senior, tenured faculty member. As the external reviewers note, Professor Young's contributions are equivalent to or go beyond those of an average tenured faculty member of any good academic institution.
External Reviewers: Reviewer A: "Overall the quality and the significance of her research activity is very good... I definitively recommend Julie to be tenured at University of Michigan. At my institution I will recommend her for an equivalent position."
Reviewer B: "Here she has attacked a very ditllcult problem because of the complexities in computing both the flow in a shoaling breaking wave and the behavior of the deformable porous sand bed and in coupling the flow and bed models .... She and her co-authors compared the results of the computations to their own laboratory experiments and found the predictions to be good. Given the complexity of the phenomena, this is impressive work .... She is a credit to your institution."
Reviewer C: "I have found in her presentations of her research work a high degree of enthusiasm that is infectious .... In her short professional career to date she has accomplished much. If she continues at that pace and maintains her enthusiasm she has great potential to be a significant contributor to science, engineering and the education of engineering students."
Reviewer D: "Professor Young's record portrays a thoughtful and creative researcher with a very promising career ahead of her in the general area of Naval hydrodynamics and coastal engineering .... I wholeheartedly and without any reservations support promoting Professor Young to a rank of Associate Professor with tenure in your department. She is clearly a rising star in the Naval Hydrodynamics area, and is well ahead of any other young researchers in similar areas that I know of" Reviewer E: "Professor Young's prolific publications in the scholarly journals and conferences in the composite propeller area have attracted world-wide attention from academia, industry and marine journalists. She has been invited to present her innovative ideas at numerous academic institutions and conferences ... "
Reviewer F: "Dr. Young is an energetic and outstanding scholar in computational methods in fluid-structure interactions. She has all the ingredients and the potentials to become one of the leading scholars and tmiversity educators .... Based on my knowledge of Dr. Young's accomplishments, there is no doubt in my mind that she will be a true asset to any university. I would consider the academic accomplishments by Dr. Young are at least comparable to those who would be promoted to associate professor with tenure at any top university in this cow1try."
Reviewer G: "Professor Young's record of publication is excellent for a scholar of her relatively junior status .... Further, the scope and range of her published work is broader than one would generally expect of a junior faculty, which, again, is a highly desirable attribute .... She most certainly meets the research-, teaching- and service-related criteria for tenure at a top-tier research university like Michigan. She is well on her way to academic prominence and your department stands to benefit from her success for many years to come."
Reviewer H: "First and foremost, Professor Young's academic record speaks amply of her excellent research scholarship and funding achievements. There is no doubt that she is a 'once in-a-decade' truly exceptional academician nationally and internationally."
Summary of Recommendation: Professor Young is a widely respected researcher in numerical and physical modeling of multiphase flows and composite marine structures and has drawn praise from her colleagues here at Michigan and also from peer institutions. She is a devoted and caring teacher and advisor, and bas a substantial internal and external service record. It is with the support of the College of Engineering Executive Committee that I recommend Professor Yin Lu (Julie) Young for granting of tenure to be held with her current title of associate professor of naval architecture and marine engineering, Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, College of Engineering, effective September 1, 2011.

She returned the Law School faculty as a professor in September 2006 with a joint appointment as professor of information, without tenure, in the School of Information. One of Professor Litman's most significant contributions to date has been the book, Digital Copyright published in 200 I and revised in 2007. Her articulation of the legal issues of the Internet and other digital venues has gotten a great deal of press. The book is very well written and is excellently researched. She also coauthored the book, Trademark and Unfair Competition Law: Cases and Materials in 2007 whose supplements are revised armually to remain current. Professor Litman has not only published a great deal, but has also been active in informing policy at the national level. She contributed testimony to hearings before the Senate Committee on the judiciary on people "squatting" on domain names, on intellectual property for a White House Task Force, and on home recordings for a house committee on the judiciary. She has given numerous talks and participated on panels on the broad issues of copyright, intellectual property and how it has all changed since the introduction of digital media. Professor Litman is clearly engaged already with both students and faculty at the School of Information.

Else Collegiate Professor of Classical Studies, and Professor of Classical Studies, with tenure, College of Literatme, Science, and the Arts RECOMMENDED TITLES: Gerald F. Else Distinguished University Professor of Classical Studies, and Professor of Classical Studies, with tenure, College of Literature, Science, and the A1ts TERM: Period of Active Service EFFECTIVE DATE: Septemher 1, 2011 We are pleased to recommend to the Board of Regents the appointment of Professor Richard Janko as the Gerald F. Else Distinguished University Professor of Classical Studies, effective September 1, 2011. The first Distinguished University Professorships were created in 1947 by the Board of Regents to recognize members of the faculty for exceptional achievement and reputation in their appointive fields of scholarly interest and for their superior teaching skills. Each professorship is named in honor of an eminent individual- preferably one associated with the University- in the scholar's same general field of interest. Appointment to a Distinguished University Professorship continues to be one of the most prestigious honors conferred by the University upon a member of its faculty. Professor Janko received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in classics from the University of Cambridge, namely a B.A. in 1976 and M.A. and Ph.D. in 1980, and held a research fellowship at T1inity College, Cambridge, in 1979-82. In 1978-79 he taught as a lecturer at the University of St. Andrews. He came to the U.S. as an assistant professor of classics at Columbia University in 1982, where he became associate professor in 1985. In 1987 he moved to UCLA, where he served as professor of classics untill994. He was professor of Greek at University College London from 1995 until2002. He has also been a visiting professor at the Scuola Nmmale in Pisa, Italy. Professor Janko arrived at the University of Michigan in 2002 as chair of the Department of Classical Studies, in which capacity he served until2007. He was appointed Gerald F. Else Collegiate Professor of Classical Studies in 2005. Professor Janko is one of the leading figures in the study of ancient Greek literature and thought, to which he has made major contributions in several different respects. His first book, Homer, Hesiod and the Hymns (1 982), used a statistical analysis of language to resolve the difficult problem of the dating of the various early Greek epic poems. He then wrote Aristotle on Comedy (1984), in which he advanced the controversial argument that a summary of the lost second book of Aristotle's Poetics about comedy in fact survives in a medieval manuscript in Paris. He also published a translation and commentary on the Poetics that is widely used by students. Meanwhile, he brought out Volume IV of the Camb1idge Commentary on Homer's Iliad (1992), in which he showed how the artistry of Horner's epic transcends his skills as an oral, unlettered poet; this volume has been praised as the best in its series. ll1 addition, he secured major funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities to bring out the lost works on aesthetics ofVergil's teacher, the poet and philosopher Philodernus. The manuscripts of these works were buried by the eruptiou of Vesuvius aud can only now be read with new technology. Thus far he has published Philodemus: On Poems Book 1 (2000), and Philodemus: On Poems Books 3--4, with the Fragments ofAristotle's On Poets (201 0), which contains many new pieces of Aristotle's lost dialogue. He has also authored over sixty articles on a wide variety of topics in Greek poetry and histmy of ideas, from Sappho to Socrates and from comedy to catharsis. Finally, he oversaw the publication of a major archaeological site in Greece where as a student he had taken part in the excavations; it was left unpublished upon the death of its excavator, W. D. Taylour (Ayios Stephanos: Excavations at a Bronze Age and Medieval Settlement in Southern Laconia, 2008). Analysis of the pottery and stratigraphy of the site does much to clarify the chronology of the Mino311 and Mycenean civilizations. His scholarship has brought him honors. He was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 1986-87, a Fellowship at the National Humanities Center in 1990, a Leverhulme Research Fellowship in 1997-98 and a semester as a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in 2000. His book Philodemus: On Poems Book 1 won the Goodwin Award for Me1it from the American Philological Association (2001), its only prize for scholarly excellence. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2006 and to the American Philosophical Society in 2009. Finally, he served as Hemy Russel Lecturer in the University of Michigan in 2010-11. As he assumes the Distinguished University Professorship, Professor Janko wishes to be named the Gerald F. Else Distinguished University Professor of Classical Studies. Gerald F. Else (1908-1982) was a distinguished American classicist who was professor of Greek and Latin at the University of Michigan from 1957 until his retirement in 1977. He began his career at Harvard and chaired the Classics Department at the University oflowa. He served as chair of our Department of Classical Studies from 1957 to 1968. During that time he founded the Center for Coordination of Ancient and Modem Studies, seeking to unite the humaJlities and to show how the study of the ancient world is relevant to modem literature and modern concems. An mmuallecture in his name continues to promote these goals. His greatest achievement was a meticulous and monumental interpretation of Aristotle's Poetics, which appeared in 1957. He also published The Origin and Early Form of Greek Tragedy in 1965. He was president of the Americ311 Philological Association in 1964, and served on President Lyndon B. Johnson's National Council in the Humanities. The appointment of Professor Richard Janko as the Gerald F. Else Distinguished University Professor of Classical Studies, effective September 1, 2011, recognizes his broad and outstanding scholarly achievements, his commitment to excellence in education for his students, and his extensive contributions to the University of Michigan and far beyond. We are delighted to make this recommendation. RECOMMENDED BY: RECOMMENDATION ENDORSED BY: Philip J.

Kane as the Victor F. WeisskopfDistin>,>uished University Professor of Physics, effective September 1, 2011. The first Distinguished University Professorships were created in 194 7 by the Board of Regents to recognize members of the faculty for exceptional achievement and reputation in their appointive fields of scholarly interest and for their superior teaching skills. Each professorship is named in honor of an eminent individual-· preferably one associated with the University- in the scholar's same general field of interest. Appointment to a Distinguished University Professorship continues to be one of the most prestigious honors conferred by the University upon a member of its faculty. Professor Kane received his PhD at the University of Illinois in 1963, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Jolms Hopkins University. He joined the University of Michigan in 1965 and has been here since, being promoted to associate professor in 1969 and to professor in 1975. He became the Victor F. Weisskopf Collegiate Professor of Physics in 2002. In 1979 he was a visiting professor at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, in 1986 a scientific associate at CERN in Switzerland, and in 2007 a member, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. Professor Kane is internationally recognized as a major scienti fie leader in a remarkably broad range of areas inclnding theoretical and phenomenological particle physics, and cosmology. His impact on educational and service activities for the department, the scientific community and the general public are very impressive. Professor Kane is a world leader in developing or extending theories for physics beyond the Standard Models of pmticle physics and of cosmology, emphasizing tests and utilizing clues from data. He has proposed innovative ideas in evety one of the major frontier areas. He led the international study in 1982 that pointed to the Superconducting Supercollider as the kind of facility needed to study and test ideas; finally that was uot built, but was then replaced by the European Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that has now begun to take data. He has proposed many tests of the supersymmetric extension of the Stm1dard Models that is the best candidate for solving many of the main fundamental problems today. He is one of the leading international figures on how the LHC should focus its efforts - for example, he has organized several impmtant workshops and studies on LHC physics, including a very successful workshop here recently on LHC physics goals, organized another here this past January on LHC and dark matter, was invited to organize one on these topics at the new Kavli Center in Beijing, and he recently co- edited a book "Perspectives on LHC Physics." He and Professor Homer Neal proposed a major intemational meeting on the first year of LHC physics that took place December 2010. In recent years he has been at the forefront in the rapidly developing area relating stJing theory and experimental phenomena, and he led the recently successful effort to have this string phenomenology activity receive a new kind of University network funding from the National Science Foundation. He has published 200 research papers in these and related areas, and been invited to give about 230 talks and lectures at national and intemationalmeetings and schools (not cmmting many seminars and colloquia at all top universities and laboratories worldwide). There are over 14,000 citations to his papers, with a very high average of 71 citations per paper, and a third of his papers have over 50 citations each, a remarkable citation record. His h index is 57 (an h index of 45 or higher is typical for Members of the National Academy of Sciences and Nobel Prize winners). He has written orca-authored or edited ten physics books, two of which are for any curious person in the general public. One of these and a second of his books were Scientific American book club selections, and a recent compilation of the top eleven Scientific American pmiicle physics articles of the decade included two of his. A chapter from one book was included in an anthology, with other chapters by Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Hawking, Maxwell, Heisenberg, and Weinberg. He has been Delphasus Lecturer, University of Califomia at Santa Cruz; Distinguished Visiting Speaker at the University of Califomia Davis; Dozer Lecturer at Ben-Gurion University, and Lewiner Lecturer at the Technion in Tel-Aviv, and an American Physical Society Centennial Speaker. He has developed an intemationally known course in the now established "Standard Mode! of particle physics" that can explain it to physics students from all areas, and to theorists and experimenters, rather than focusing on one audience. This course is valuable to the department, allowing it to be one of the few that can offer all students an understandable course in the Standard Model, the synthesis of centuries of trying to understand the physical world, and helping us attract top graduate students to our department. He has authored several fine review miicles that make frontier research in a number of areas accessible to younger generations of upcoming researchers everywhere and thereby played a large role in strengthening research worldwide in physics beyond the Standard Model. He has mentored a number of PhD students and postdocs, a dozen of whom are uow on the faculties ofresem·cb universities, and is often a resource for PhD students in other areas of theory and experiment in the depmimcnt and elsewhere. He has served on 45 PhD dissertation committees since 1989. He is director of the Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics (MCTP). The MCTP has over 90 full members from the faculty of the University, fi·om 15 LSA Units and several Engineering Units, with as many more associate members. MCTP has brought over 2500 scientists from around the world to pm·ticipate in its workshops and meetings here. Professor Kane has been elected a fellow of the American Physical Society, a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a fellow of the British Institute of Physics, and a Guggenheim Fellow. He has served on many governmental advisory panels, most recently as chair of the theoretical physics subpanel on the three year Committee of Visitors of the Physical and Mathematical Sciences Division of the National Science Foundation, the highest evaluation panel the NSF has. He has served on the intemational advisory committees of over 40 national and intemational meetings. Professor Kane is PI on a longstanding Department of Energy grm1t with his particle theory and cosmology colleagues that currently has a base budget of $827,000 a year, large for theoretical scientists who do not build equipment. He has had major research funding continuously since 1966. He has served tbe University in many ways over the years, ranging from membership on the Finance Committee that reviewed and advised policies for the vice president for financial affairs, and on the Budget Priorities Committee that advised the provost, both in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He has had a broader intellectual impact on the University. When Lee Bollinger was selected as president of the University, SACUA chose 12 faculty members across all fields, one of whom was Professor Kane, and asked them to prepare a volume of essays on the Future of the Research University, to be handed to President Bollinger on anival. He has acknowledgements in publications in psychology and evolutionary biology, has been a doctoral committee member in the history of science and in social psychology, and has been appointed an associate of the Institute for the Humanities (1991-1992) and an adjunct professor in the School of Art and Design (just renewed for a second five-year te1m). He was an active senior fellow of the Michigan Society of Fellows. A few years ago for the evolution semester ofLSA a symposium was organized on "Origins," from the Big Bang to human evolution, and Professor Kane was asked to give the widely praised summary talk, showing an impressive understanding of the many areas involved, and integrating them. The appointment of Professor Gordon Kane as the Victor F. WeisskopfDistinguished University Professor of Physics, effective September I, 201 I, recognizes his extensive and outstanding scholarly achievements, his commitment to excellence in education for his students, and his extensive contributions to the University of Michigan and far beyond. We are delighted to make this recommendation.

Each professorship is named in honor of an eminent individual- preferably one associated with the University- in the scholar's same general field of interest. Appointment to a Distinguished University Professorship continues to be one of the most prestigious honors confened by the University upon a member of its faculty. Professor Meisler eamed a Ph.D. in physiological chemistry from The Ohio State University in 1968. She served as a postdoctoral fellow in the Roswell Park Cancer Institution in Buffalo, New York from 1969-73, working with Dr. Kenneth Paigen. She served as assistant professor of biochemistry in the School of Medicine, SUNY-Buffalo from 1973-1977. She carne to the University of Michigan in 1977 as associate professor of human genetics in the Medical School and was promoted to professor in 1983. In her research, Professor Meisler has used mouse models to identifY disease genes and characterize their mechanism of action. Her laboratory earned out positional cloning of several mouse mutants that revealed new com1ections between gene function and neurological disease. She pioneered the use of strain differences to identify modifier genes that influence the severity of genetic disease. Extrapolating from her observations in mutant mice, Professor Meisler discovered that human mutations in the sodium channel gene SC'NIA are a major cause of inherited epilepsy, and that mutations of the FIG4 gene result in the human neuropathy Characot-Marie-Tooth disease. More than 30 trainees from around the world have worked with her on these research projects, which have been continuously funded by the NIH since 1975. Professor Meisler is active in national professional associations and advisory committees, and served as the first president of the International Mammalian Genome Society from 1995 to 1997 and on the Program Committee of the American Society for Human Genetics from 2007 to 2009.

Valenstein Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, and Professor of Psychology, with tenure, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts TERM: Period of Active Service EFFECTIVE DATE: September 1, 2011 We are pleased to reconunend to the Board of Regents the appointment of Professor Terry E. Robinson as the Elliot S. Valenstein Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, effective September 1, 2011. The first Distint,>uished University Professorships were created in 194 7 by the Board of Regents to recognize members of the faculty for exceptional achievement and reputation in their appointive fields of scholarly interest and for their superior teaching skills. Each professorship is named in honor of an eminent individual- preferably one associated with the University- in the scholar's same general field of interest. Appointment to a Distinguished University Professorship continues to be one ofthe most prestigious honors conferred by the University upon a member of its facnlty. Professor Robinson received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Canada, including a M.A. in biological psychology from the University of Saskatchewan in 1974 and a Ph.D. from the University of Western Ontario in London in 1978. After one year of postdoctoral training at the University of California (Irvine) he joined the faculty of the University of Michigan in 1978, as an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology. Professor Robinson remained at the University of Michigan throughout his career and was promoted to associate professor in 1984, to professor in 1989, and as tbe Elliot S. V alenstein Collegiate Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience in 200 I. He has also been active in the interdepartmental Neuroscience Graduate Program throughout his time at Michigan. Professor Robinson is known intemationally for his research concerning the persistent behavioral and neurobiological consequences of repeated exposure to drugs of abuse, and the implications of these for addiction and relapse. He has published extensively on the effects of amphetamine and cocaine on brain neurotransmitter systems and behavior, and especially on psychomotor sensitization, withdrawal, and neurotoxicity, as well as on the neuroadaptive processes tbat mediate recovery of function following damage to dopamine systems. For example, he published seminal papers showing that repeated treatment with amphetamine, cocaine or morphine produces very long-lasting (months to years) changes in subseqnent drug-induced behavior, as well as associated alterations in a number of neurobiological systems, especially mesotelencephalic dopamine systems. These neuroadaptations include not only neurochemical alterations, but structmal changes in the morphology of dend1ites on cells in brain reward systems, suggesting that exposure to psychomotor stimulants may permanently alter patterns of synaptic connectivity in nemal systems involved in mediating basic motivational processes, thereby altering a number of reward-related processes. He has also shown that environmental (nonpharmacological) factors modulate the development and expression of d:tug-induced changes in behavior, and described neurobiological mechanisms by which environmental context gates drug responsiveness, inclnding the ability to modulate gene expression. With his colleague, Professor Kent Berridge, he has published influential theoretical mticles on how these drug -induced changes in brain and behavior may contribute to the development of addiction. Indeed, their original 1993 article proposing an "Incentive-Sensitization Theory of Addiction" has been cited over 2,650 times, and is the most cited paper in the field. His current research focuses on individual differences in the extent to which reward-related cues, including drug cues, come to control behavior and how this may contribute to susceptibility to addiction. Professor Robinson is considered to be muong the leading experts in the world on the psychology and neurobiology of addiction. For his research, Professor Robinson has received numerous awm·ds. His research has been continually funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIT-f) throughout his career, m1d he has been awarded a NIII Research Career Development Award, a National Institute of Drug Abuse Senior Scientist Award, and for the last 10 years his research was supported by a NIDA MERIT award. In 2006 he was listed on the Institute for Scientific Infom1ation's ISIHighlyCited.com as one of the highest cited (top 0.5%) scientists in the world in the field of neuroscience. He has published over 200 articles, and collectively, these have been cited in other publications approximately 17,000 times. Professor Robinson is a fellow of the America11 Association for the Advancement of Science and the Amelican Psychological Society, a member of the American College ofNeuropsychophannacology, has served as chair of the Gordon Resem·ch Conference on Catecholamines, a11d has received the Literature, Science & Arts College Excellence in Research Award m1d the Outstanding Faculty Service Recognition Awm·d fi·om the UM Neuroscience Program. In 2010 he received the D.O. I-lebb Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American Psychological Association. He has given many invited lectures throughout the world, including a Presidential Special Lecture at the Society for Neuroscience Ammal Meeting. Professor Robinson's professional service at the local level has involved appointments on numerous depmimental committees, including service on the Executive Committees of both the Department of Psychology and the Neuroscience Graduate Program, and he is presently on the Steering Committee for the Undergraduate Concentration in Neuroscience. He served as the director of the Neuroscience Graduate Progrmn (1988-1989), as chair of the Biopsychology Area in the Department of Psychology (1990-1996; 2007-2008) and has been director of the NIDA Training Progrmn in Neuroscience since 1995. He has also served on the LS&A. College Nominating Committee, the English Composition Board Policy Committee, the UM Alcohol m1d Other Drugs Policy Committee, the Advisory Committee to the Dea11 of tl1e Medical School on the Directorship of MHRI, the UM Substance Abuse Research Center Executive Committee, the Provost's and Dean's Committee on the UM Neuroscience Initiative, the University Connnittee on the Use and Care of Animals (UCUCA), and the Sem·ch Advisory Committee for the Dean of Rackham and Vice Provost of Graduate Studies. He has also served on a number of national committees, including the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Program Committee, the SfN Committee on Committees, chair of the Jacob P. Waletzky Memorial Award Conunittee (SfN) and the AAAS Electorate Nominating Committee of the Section on Psychology. Professor Robinson has also served on over 20 NIH grant review committees throughout his career, and on a number of scientific advisory committees at other institutions. Finally, he has served as a reviewer for many professional journals and he was editor-in-chief of the journal, Behavioural Brain Research, which publishes articles in all areas of behavioral neuroscience, from 1996 to 2010. Professor Robinson has been active in both undergraduate and graduate education. For example, he developed an upper-level undergraduate course on "Drugs of Abuse, Brain a11d Behavior" a number of years ago and it has grown into a very popular class with an emollment between 200-250 students. Despite students consistently rating it as one of the most challenging classes in the Department (it has an average grade of B-) Professor Robinson has consistently maintained high instructor ratings and students frequently comment on how much they learned and how Professor Robinson is able to make complex material accessible. Early on, Professor Robinson was also instrumental in establishing the undergraduate concentration in "Brain, Behavior & Cof:,'llitive Sciences (BBCS)," which has grown into one of the most popular concentration programs in the physical or natural sciences. Professor Robinson has been very active in training graduate students in both the Biopsychology Graduate Program and the Neuroscience Graduate Program. In addition to mentoring his own students he has served as PI on a training grant from NIDA since 1995, which has suppmied graduate students in neuroscience, psychology, medicinal chemistry and pharmacology. He has mentored numerous graduate and postdoctoral students over the years, many of whom have gone on to independent research careers around the world, including those with positions at the University of Rome, the University of Sussex, the University of Montreal, the University of Washington, the University of Minnesota and here at the University of Michigan. One of his graduate students (Arma Samaha) won the Rackham Distinguished Dissertation Award, and then went on to win the national award for best dissertation in psychology, the James McKeen Cattell Dissertation Award from the New York Academy of Sciences, in 2005. As he assumes the Distinguished University Professorship, Professor Robinson wishes it to be named the Elliot S. Valenstein Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience. Elliot S. Valenstein is a long-time member of the faculty at the University of Michigan, and he is cunently professor emeritus of psycholo!,>y and neuroscience. He served for many years as chair of the Biopsychology Program. Professor Valenstein is one of the leading figures in the history of the field of inquiry that used to be called "physiological psychology," and is now called behavioral neuroscience or biopsychology. Professor Valenstein's laboratory research and scholarly activities on the biological factors that influence emotion, motivation and reward, the contribution ofhonnones to behavior, and the history of somatic treatments of mental illness, include many of the seminal studies in the field. He is the author of more than 160 scientific miicles, and seven books. His books have been read by students and sdentists around the world and have had a major influence on thinking about the social and cultural impact of resem·ch on brain and behavior. The appointment of Professor Terry E. Robinson as the Elliot S. Valenstein Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, effective September 1, 2011, recognizes his extensive m1d outstanding scholmly achievements, his commitment to excellence in education for his students, and his extensive contributions to the University of Michigan and far beyond.

He began his professional career at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1977, serving in several positions and ultimately as the director of resource planning and analysis. He was the associate dean for planning and operations at Saint Louis University School of Medicine (1989- 92) before serving as associate dean for administration and finance at State University of New York at Stony Brook School of Medicine (1992-96). From 1996-98 he served as the associate dean and chief financial officer at the University of Chicago Biological Sciences Division and Pritzker School of Medicine. Mr. Strong came to the University of Michigan in 1998 to become the Health System's first associate vice president for finance and strategy. During his tenure as associate vice president, he also served as the chief financial officer for the Hospitals and Health Centers (HHC). He has served as the director and CEO of the Hospitals and Health Centers since August 2006. Over the past five years as director and chief executive officer, Mr. Strong has demonstrated outstanding leadership and strategic vision in guiding the $2.1 B hospitals and health centers. His balanced approach has resulted in ongoing financial stability and national recognition for high quality patient care service. The hospitals have consistently been recognized by U.S. News and World Report for their excellence and recently were named as one of Leapfrog's Top Hospitals (one of only three national health systems to achieve both honors). Under his leadership, the hospitals and health centers have reached all-time high scores for patient satisfaction measures. In addition, with the executive vice president for medical affairs, dean of the Medical School and other top Health System leaders he has helped to further the integration of the components of the mission and the units of the Health System. The HHC has continued its growth with the opening of the Cardiovascular Center, Brehm Tower and the soon-to-open C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital, in addition to the implementation of major information technology systems such as the online order entry system. Mr. Strong is also active on numerous state and national committees and is cunently chair of the Michigan Health and Hospital Association Board of Trustees. We therefore recommend, with enthusiasm, the reappointment of Douglas L. Strong and a change in his title to chief executive officer, University of Michigan Hospitals and Health Centers, effective Augnst 1, 2011 through July 31,2016.
