University Distinguished Professors

The rank of University Distinguished Professor was established and approved by the MSU Board of Trustees in June 1989. Among the original list of faculty elevated to that rank were three members of the Physics/Astronomy Faculty and the NSCL: Professors Sam Austin, Henry Blosser and Konrad Gelbke. Since that time five others have been elevated to that rank. Below are the names of the University Distinguished Professors in the Physics and Astronomy Department and the starting date at this rank.
