ANN ARBOR—Two University of Michigan faculty members were given the emeritus title by the U-M Regents at their March 18-19 meeting.

Those retiring are Choo W. Suh, senior associate librarian, and Howard M. Wolowitz, professor of psychology.

Suh joined the U-M Library in 1963 as the Japanese language cataloger in the Asia Library. “Her long career coincided with the fast-paced development of the Asia Library,” the Regents noted. “As she assumed greater professional and managerial responsibilities, she was promoted to senior Japanese-Korean cataloger (1963), coordinator of technical services in the Asia Library (1984), and head of the Asia Library Technical Services (1993).

“Ms. Suh will be remembered not only for her uncompromising professionalism and untiring enthusiasm for teaching; but also for the high level of expertise and rich experience that have enhanced the bibliographical organization of the U-M Library.”

Wolowitz joined the U-M faculty in 1961. “Throughout his career, Prof. Wolowitz has had a sustained interest in psychoanalytic theory and its empirical test,” the Regent said. “His research contributions ranged through a variety of clinical syndromes as well. His research on dreams is particularly well-known and is cited as an example of how complex intrapsychic theories can be investigated in ways both methodologically rigorous and clinically relevant. Prof. Wolowitz has focused on dreams and their psychological function, and his work goes beyond Freud’s original formulation of dreams as wish fulfillment to consider the role of dreams in problem solving.

“A dedicated and charismatic teacher, Prof. Wolowitz introduced several generations of Michigan students to psychodynamic thinking.”
