The Eastern Michigan University Board of Regents granted
emeritus status to two former faculty and two staff members
at its regular meeting April 21.
To be awarded emeritus status, faculty must have served
EMU for at least 15 years and be nominated for emeritus
faculty status upon retirement. Staff members who have
at least 15 years of service may be nominated for emeritus
status upon retirement.
The faculty members granted emeritus status are:
Barbara Glover, associate professor in Halle Library,
who retired in 2008 after 17 years of service. Glover,
of Northville, worked as the cataloger, documents and periodicals
librarian. She helped implement the Voyager system and
played a major role in the move to Halle Library. As periodicals
librarian, Glover led the library into the electronic era,
linking the library's catalog records to Web sites with
online content. Glover also was an effective supervisor
who encouraged her staff to continue learning and increase
their competencies.
Glover received her master's degree in library science
from the University of Michigan and her bachelor's degree
in English from the University of Michigan.
