*Mr. Lawrence Dutton and Mr. Philip Setzer of the Emerson String Quartet, were appointed to the rank of
Distinguished Professor by the State University of New York Board of Trustees on November 5, 2015.
SUNY DISTINGUISHED ACADEMY
The rank of SUNY Distinguished Professor was created by the Board of Trustees in 1963 with
the first faculty member promoted to the rank in 1964. Since then 1,062 faculty have been
honored in one of four specific categories: Distinguished Professorship, Distinguished Teaching
Professorship, Distinguished Service Professorship, and Distinguished Librarian. SUNY’s
Distinguished faculty include Nobel Laureates, National Academy members, a Fields Medalist, a
Dirac Medalist, and National Medal of Technology and Innovation winners.
It was the intent of the Board of Trustees that appointment to the Distinguished Faculty ranks
would also carry additional leadership responsibility. Distinguished faculty are expected to function
as role models and devote appropriate service to University-wide activities, both ceremonial and
professional, such as offering lectures and seminars, informing curricular development, improving
the overall academic experience of students, mentoring junior faculty, and leading inquiry into
issues of importance to SUNY and the larger society.
In 2012, at the request of Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher, the Board of Trustees officially created the
SUNY Distinguished Academy, whose members include all active Distinguished faculty appointed
by the SUNY Board of Trustees. The Distinguished Academy serves as a formal organization to
bring together many of SUNY’s most esteemed faculty, and in so doing, to leverage the collective
wisdom and expertise of its members to support academic excellence across the State University
of New York.

with soprano Barbara Hannigan for Berg’s
Lyric Suite at the Berlin Festival, with violist
Roberto Diaz for Mendelssohn’s Viola Quintet
at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center, and with the
Calidore String Quartet for the Mendelssohn
Octet at Princeton University. The Emerson
also performs two concerts at London’s
Wigmore Hall in November and will appear
at the second Piatigorsky International Cello
Festival in Los Angeles’s Walt Disney Concert
Hall in May 2016. Multiple tours of Europe comprise
dates in Denmark, Czech Republic, Italy, Spain,
Germany, Poland, Turkey, Austria, Hungary and the
United Kingdom; they also visit Moscow, Hong Kong,
Shanghai and Seoul. The Emerson continues its series
at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC for its
37th season, and is presented by Lincoln Center’s “Great
Performers” in a three-part series of late Haydn and
early Beethoven string quartets in April and May.
The Emerson String Quartet has accumulated an
unparalleled list of achievements over three decades:
more than thirty acclaimed recordings, nine Grammys®
(including two for Best Classical Album), three
Gramophone Awards, the Avery Fisher Prize, Musical
America’s “Ensemble of the Year” and collaborations
with many of the greatest artists of our time.
The arrival of Paul Watkins in 2013 has had a profound
effect on the Emerson Quartet. Mr. Watkins, a
distinguished soloist, award-winning conductor, and
devoted chamber musician, joined the ensemble in
its 37th season, and his dedication and enthusiasm
have infused the Quartet with a warm, rich tone
and a palpable joy in the collaborative process. The
reconfigured group has been greeted with impressive
accolades. “The Emerson brought the requisite
virtuosity to every phrase. But this music is equally
demanding emotionally and intellectually, and the
group’s powers of concentration and sustained intensity
were at least as impressive.” The New York Times
The Emerson’s 2015-16 season begins with the release
of a disc with world-renowned soprano Renée Fleming
on the Decca/Universal label, featuring Viennese
music written in the 1920s and ‘30s: Berg’s Lyric Suite
(including an alternate version of the last movement
for soprano and quartet), Egon Wellesz’s Sonnets by
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Eric Zeisl’s Komm,
süsser Tod (Come, sweet Death). Formed in 1976 and
based in New York City, the Emerson was one of the
first quartets formed with two violinists alternating in
the first chair position. In 2002, the Quartet began to
stand for most of its concerts, with the cellist seated
on a riser. The Emerson Quartet, which took its name
from the American poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo
Emerson, is Quartet-in-Residence at Stony Brook
University. In January 2015, the Quartet received
the Richard J. Bogomolny National Service Award,
Chamber Music America’s highest honor, in recognition
of its significant and lasting contribution to the chamber
music field.
The Quartet’s summer season included engagements
at BBC Proms and the Ravinia, Tanglewood, Aspen,
Chamber Music Northwest, Evian, Berlin, Great Lakes,
Norfolk, Cape Cod and Mostly Mozart festivals. In a
season of over 85 quartet performances, mingled with
the Quartet members’ individual artistic commitments,
the Emerson plays extensively throughout North
America. Season highlights include collaborations

Professor Steven R. Levine
Dr. Levine is a Professor of Neurology and Emergency
Medicine at SUNY Downstate Medical Center. He is an
internationally renowned researcher, prominent scholar,
major contributor, clinical trialist, and thought leader in
the study of stroke and cerebrovascular disease. Continuously NIH funded for three decades (over $13.7M direct
funding), since joining SUNY in 2010, he initiated several SUNY-wide clinical trial networks. He has published
over 170 original peer-reviewed papers (several with
over 200 citations) and made new, significant, distinguished advances in stroke treatment and epidemiology.
Dr. Oberg is a Professor of History at SUNY Geneseo.
He is one of the leading national and international
authorities on the intersections of colonial English and
Native American societies. He has published seven
books with premier university presses and is under
contract for two more, in addition to a variety of seminal
articles and other publications. Dr. Oberg is a master
ethnohistorian who mines the scarce historical record
for Native American voices and consequently breaks
new ground in much of his published work. The Head in
Edward Nugent’s Hand, for instance, examines the wellknown “Lost Colony” of Roanoke from the perspective
of the Algonquian people who determined the fate of
the colonists sent there by Sir Walter Raleigh. Similarly, in his textbook (one of only two in the field without
multiple authors), rather than attempting to survey all
Native American societies, as is the convention, he uses
a smaller number of societies as a lens for a more indepth and productive study of 500 years of interactions
with Europeans and their descendents. As a measure
of the depth of Dr. Oberg’s knowledge and the care
he takes in his research, he has been invited by both
the U.S. Justice Department and the Haudenosaunee
nations to write expert reports.
