Can scientists
predict where and when invasive species will take over?
Deborah Goldberg answers in an article from the Spring 2008 LSAmagazine.
Goldberg named Elzada U. Clover Collegiate Professor
Deborah Goldberg has been named the Elzada U. Clover Collegiate Professor by the U-M Board of Regents.
Elzada Clover was a professor in the Department of Botany, a curator at the U-M Botanical Gardens, and taught at the U-M Biological Station. The late Dr. Clover was one of the first two women to successfully raft the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon in 1938. Along with her graduate student, Lois Jotter, she took the trip to pursue her interest in the systematics of succulents.
LSA Collegiate Professorships are chosen based on outstanding scholarship, teaching and service and named for five-year renewable terms. Congratulations!
Professor Goldberg named senior fellow
Professor and Chair Deborah E. Goldberg has been named senior fellow in the Michigan Society of Fellows. Eight new senior fellows were appointed by President Mary Sue Coleman to serve four-year terms beginning September 2007.
U-M faculty members are chosen based on their intellectual stature and national reputations as scholars, researchers or creative artists. Senior fellows help create a spirited intellectual community and serve as role models and colleagues for U-M postdoctoral fellows. Past fellows include some of the most distinguished scholars nationwide.
