	“The Last Lecture” By Jane and Robert Eberwein Distinguished Professors of English April 9 , 2007 Meadow Brook Theatre
Retiring Oakland University Distinguished Professors Jane and Robert Eberwein, Department of English, each gave a “Last Lecture” on Monday, April 9, 2007. The event was held in the Meadow Brook Theatre , with a reception immediately following in the Meadow Brook Art Gallery. The lectures were attended by many--current faculty and students, former students, and retired faculty. Both Jane and Robert Eberwein have taught at OU for 38 years. In 1987 Professor Robert Eberwein received OU's Teaching Excellence Award. In 1988 Professor Jane Eberwein received the Research Excellence Award. Library faculty and staff have greatly appreciated all that the Eberweins have done for the Library over the years. They have been loyal library supporters and library users and have directed hundreds of their students to our resources. We look forward to seeing them often in the future as they work on new research projects.
