The Probus Club of Detroit
presented the Academic
Achievement Award to Pro-
fessors Randall Commissaris,
of the College of Pharmacy
and Allied Health Profes-
sions, and Susan Fino of the
political science department.
The club, an organization of
professional businessmen
established in 1929, presents
the awards to increase
recognition of Wayne State
University, its achievements,
facilities, faculty and student
body. Club members are
hopeful Michigan industry,
business and professions
aware of those achievements
will be encouraged to award
grants to the University.
Commissaris, a seven-year
WSU faculty member, has
focused his research on
developing animal models to
better understand the role of
drugs in the treatment of
anxiety-related disorders.
His work has been cited in
national and international
scientific journals and has at-
tracted grants from WSU, the
American Heart Association
and a research starter award
from the Pharmaceutical
Manufacturers Association.
Fino has played a major role
in the shifting of social scien-
tific study of public law from
the federal judiciary and the
U.S. Supreme Court to the
state system, particularly
state appellate courts.
Her approach involves
traditional case/doctrinal
analysis and quantitative
analysis of large data sets she
has assembled using a com-
puterized retrieval system.
