Michelle Bertsch and Theresa Windus will represent its class of 2026.
A reception ceremony honoring the two newest members was held Friday, Sept. 18, at the Hartnett Hall Collaboration Space.
“The Academic Hall of Fame celebrates alumni who have achieved distinction in their professions and made significant contributions to the advancement of their fields” said Laurie Geller, MSU vice president for academic affairs. “Through their dedication to education, discovery, and mentorship, Michelle Bertsch and Theresa Windus have created opportunities for others and made lasting contributions to their respective fields.
