Duderstadt was raised in the German farming community of Carrollton where he earned all A's as a student while playing varsity football He also played football during his first two years at Yale University where he graduated summa cum laude in 1964 with a bachelor of engineering degree in electrical engineering He earned two degrees from the California Institute of Technology He also was an Atomic Energy Commission postdoctoral fellow at Caltech before joining the UM as a faculty member in 1969 "We agreed on a lot of points, we disagreed on a few, but his love for higher education in general, and Michigan in particular, was obvious to anyone who knew him. Rest in peace," Ann Arbor-based sports journalist, author, and college instructor John Bacon said in a Thursday post on X "We were the first in Michigan to have Ethernet in every dorm It was truly amazing," Hughes said in a Thursday Facebook post Anne; daughters Susan Kay (John Iskander) of Atlanta and Katherine Anne (Nathan Schwadron) of Newton Mass.; and grandchildren Eleanor Aida Iskander Marina Anne Schwadron and Jane Maria Schwadron a former president of the University of Michigan who launched several significant initiatives for the school Widely considered one of the most influential leaders of the state's flagship public university He joined the U of M faculty in the late 1960s the university said Duderstadt shaped the institution "with his zeal for technology Current U of M President Santa Ono praised his contributions to the Ann Arbor campus "One of Duderstadt's major accomplishments was the development of the North Campus and the successful transition of the College of Engineering there which allowed it to really have a burst of activity that really thrust it into even greater heights in comparison to other engineering schools at other universities across the state," Ono said in an interview Duderstadt was generally respected by students, although a group briefly occupied his office in 1990 when the university formed an armed campus police force — a decision that's still controversial among some student activists to this day Duderstadt stepped down from the U of M presidency to lead the Millennium Project a research center on campus focusing on the impact of societal The University of Michigan holds Michigan Public's broadcast license Duderstadt and University of Colorado student Caroline Frischmon are collaborating with community lead Barbara Weckesser and organizing expert Jennifer Crosslin to help the residents collect and analyze air pollution and health data Their results are validating the experiences of community members as they grapple with the compound threats of toxic plumes from the Bayou Casotte Industrial Complex and flooding from hurricanes UNHSI: Tell us about your research and recent fieldwork trip Map showing the Cherokee Forest in proximity to industry. Inset shows potential for flooding in the neighborhood (NOAA’s Sea Level Rise viewer) Duderstadt: Cherokee Forest is a small subdivision of homes constructed in the 1960s to house workers for the shipbuilding and chemical industries of the Bayou Casotte Industrial Complex While many of the original families remain and noise pollution are making life in the neighborhood unbearable Abandoned lots and overgrown cul-de-sacs also serve as a stark reminder of devastating storm surge flooding and subsequent rebuilding after hurricanes Georges and Katrina The majority of residents are united in their desire for a buyout in order to retreat to safer and heathier places They would like to see the subdivision converted back to forest and wetland a natural buffer to help protect the rest of South Pascagoula from toxins and flooding Our initial task with Thriving Earth Exchange was to develop summary reports that visualize and communicate a decade of air pollution and health data to the community and local officials asking residents to track odors and health symptoms We then held workshops for community members to analyze the datasets gaining confidence and resolve as the scientific data confirms their stories and observations.  UNHSI: What keeps you excited and hopeful about sustainability in your work Duderstadt: It is exciting that scientists are embracing new ways of working with communities to achieve sustainable solutions Instead of researchers approaching communities to study questions within their own academic disciplines communities themselves are identifying problems and inviting interdisciplinary teams of researchers to help advance their goals facilitated by liaison organizations such as the Thriving Earth Exchange and leading data workshops to develop materials to share with local officials This work is validating personal observations and stories while also providing structural continuity for community science View from Cherokee Street showing a flare from the Chevron oil refinery.

Dr Duderstadt is the second to be profiled  in a series that runs through Friday as a postdoctoral fellow at the California Institute of Technology Duderstadt was asked to give a seminar at the University of Michigan While he was flying back home to Los Angeles received a phone call from an executive administrator at the University of Michigan with an offer for a faculty position for him She immediately and enthusiastically accepted the offer on Duderstadt’s behalf “I walked in the door and she said we’re moving to Michigan,” recalls Duderstadt While he is known today as a pioneer of diversity and inclusion in higher education Duderstadt started as an assistant professor of nuclear engineering and was promoted to full professor by 1976 Nuclear engineering at Michigan was then primarily a graduate program the students were not much younger than Duderstadt himself he became receptive and attuned to their concerns “I regarded most of the students I was teaching as friends and colleagues I got interested in broader issues involving the university.” The students at the University of Michigan had been involved in activism throughout the 20th century engaging with issues such as the Vietnam War the Black Power Movement and school desegregation As Duderstadt transitioned from faculty to administration he leveraged his camaraderie with students to support rather than fight this culture of activism on campus “I realized that although it often irritated the administration student activism was really the social conscience of the university which in turn affected the conscience of the nation,” Duderstadt says “I decided that instead of fighting it and trying to push them off to the side As he rose through the ranks as dean of the college of engineering and later vice president for academic affairs he allowed students to sit on key university committees students and faculty advocated for gender equality and LGBTQ rights It was in the throes of these controversies that Duderstadt became president in 1988 they taught me a tremendous amount,” Duderstadt says “I guess I got pulled into it by some very talented and concerned and Duderstadt held a one-vote progressive majority on the Board of Governors which allowed him to establish the President’s Advisory Committee on Women’s Issues and to pass policies like benefits for the LGBTQ community sought to recruit more faculty of color so that the composition of the university’s professoriate would reflect the demographics of the state and the country Duderstadt’s Michigan Mandate mobilized what essentially became a university-wide search party consisting of all the institution’s faculty He announced that the president’s office would pay for any new faculty hires encouraging professors across campus to recruit outstanding scholars of color in any area of specialization the president’s office lacked the funds to keep its end of the deal he totaled up the debt and sliced it off the university’s budget the academic units that weren’t active began to realize they were paying for the academic units that were active,” he says This aspect of the Michigan Mandate set off a chain reaction that led to the recruitment of a more diverse staff and student body Duderstadt’s administration didn’t stop there He promoted women and faculty of color into top leadership positions at the university Edie Goldenberg as the first dean of the College of Literature about half of the vice presidents were African-American and about half were women One of Duderstadt’s last actions before stepping down was to appoint Dr who in 1981 became the first Black female dean at University of Michigan the higher quality our student body and our faculty became so we made the case that diversity does lead to significant increase in quality.” Thurnau Professor of Music and the former senior vice provost for academic affairs was the last administrator appointed by Duderstadt Duderstadt presented the university with a vision for leading higher education into the 21st century “The Michigan Mandate had a motto of ‘linking social diversity with academic excellence,’ and that became sort of the rallying call for many of us who wanted to move in that direction,” says Monts recalling the dramatic rise in the number of underrepresented minority students and faculty of color and you see that Jim Duderstadt had a vital role in moving the university in the path of progress.” Monts still sees Duderstadt nearly every day because his lab is in the Duderstadt Center which was named after the former president and his wife in 1996 Duderstadt returned to the life of faculty He is director of the university’s Millennium Project where he continues to publish books on higher education policy he believes the path to a more inclusive university has remained clear despite the changing cultural landscape “I think the key is that you have to stress the commitment to providing opportunity to diverse populations,” he says FAIRMONT — Jennifer Abitz and John Duderstadt Jr 2021 at Hand’s Park in rural Fairmont with Brandon Hollingsworth officiating the ceremony Parents of the

events at the SEC Swimming & Diving Championships Auburn senior swimmer Michael Duderstadt said he wasn’t caught up in repeating after winning conference titles in both races in last year’s meet his best in at least one of the races was good enough to add another SEC championship to his resume Duderstadt took first in the 100 breast with a time of 51.5 seconds beating out South   Carolina’s Nils Wich-Glasen by .29 seconds It was .49 seconds better than his winning time in last year’s race and nearly a full second faster than his preliminary time of 52.46 It was an incredibly impressive final swim that Duderstadt said he wasn’t fully expecting before entering the water I wasn’t too confident going into the finals,” he said “I kind of just put aside any ideas of the pressure of winning or having that thought in my head I just relaxed and told myself that I’d be OK with winning or be OK with getting last I think that helped me relax and calm myself down Duderstadt found himself ahead of the field at the 50 yard turn and said he didn’t have a very vivid recollection of what happened in the final 50 of the race “But it’s kind of cool knowing that all the hard work that had been done just came out It wasn’t me thinking about it or trying too hard to force it out It just came out and was kind of like a natural progression of all my work.” His 100 breast victory came on Friday night and he attempted to earn another repeat title in the 200 on Saturday Duderstadt finished fourth with a time of 1:53.22 despite topping his winning time of 1:53.5 in 2016 But the top three finishers all went below 1:53 with Anton McKee of Alabama taking first with 1:52.22 Duderstadt said he was happy with his performance despite the result crediting the top three finishers for their effort “The other guys just swam awesome and good for them They got their hand on the wall first,” he said “I was really happy with my race in the 200 I think I learned a lot about myself in that race specifically I learned a lot about how to come back at the NCAA (meet) and how I can go faster but it was a really fun race with all those guys.” Up next for Duderstadt is the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships March 21-23 in Indianapolis where he’ll compete in the 100 and 200 breast though he said he’s not sure yet which ones The NCAA meet will provide Duderstadt with an opportunity to redeem himself after a performance last year that he said was not up to his standard “I think last year I didn’t swim very well and it’s obviously a kind of frustrating thing,” he said “I was working so hard and not swimming too well but it was a good learning curve and a good chance to learn about myself I’m just changing my mentality going into it and having a positive outlook and being more relaxed just not putting pressure on yourself or comparing yourself to others You just stay in your own lane and race yourself That’s all you can do and that’s how I’m going to get the best result for myself.” Duderstadt will have finished an impressive SEC career with six total titles: three individual and three on relays “It has been an honor to represent Auburn at the SECs and having that opportunity has just been awesome,” he said “To then go out and win some races for the team has been even cooler one that I’m sure I’ll look back on and maybe it will hit me later on in life But it has just been an awesome experience to race with the quality of talent in the SEC and to come out on top in some of those races has been unbelievable.” © 2025 Advance Local Media LLC.
