Michigan's Asian Pacific Americans

Frank Wu, dean of Wayne State's Law School, and Sean Wu, professor of mechanical engineering, are among Asian Americans honored in a special section of the magazine. The section includes a brief profile and a photo of each honoree. Frank Wu, whose philosophy of life is "do more," became dean of the Law School in 2004, grew up in the Detroit area and remembers seeing his immigrant parents struggle to become established in a new culture. The article mentions previous faculty appointments at Howard University and Columbia, a teaching fellowship at Stanford and a visiting professorship at the University of Michigan. The profile on Sean Wu notes that he is co-founder of SenSound, a company that specializes in detection of vibration and noise through digital images of sound. A native of China, Wu connected with his partners while at Wayne State and is a recent inductee into the Asian Academy Hall of Fame. The writeups were accompanied by photos of the nominees.
