"Professor's passion for film inspires others"

"During 35 years at Oakland University, nine of them as chair of the English Department, Bob Eberwein has helped elevate film studies from an intriguing course to a demanding concentration, authored numerous articles and reviews and four books on film and film criticism (with a fifth in the works), and established a national scholarly reputation in film studies. He also profoundly influenced the development of OU's academic environment during the university's formative years"
