= Marie Haug = Marie Reed Haug (June 4th, 1914- October 4th, 2001) was a professor of sociology and founder of the University Center on Aging and Health at Case Western Reserve University. The first female chair of the Faculty Senate, Haug spent her post graduate career in Cleveland, Ohio, at her alma mater, both teaching within the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing and the Department of Sociology, as well as performing her own research, with a focus on health and aging. Haug's research led her to become a founder of the University Center on Aging and Health. During her career, Haug published more than eighty articles, as well as worked on numerous books and other publications within her field, remaining active until 1999. Haug passed away in 2001 in the Judson Park Retirement Community in Cleveland, Ohio, and a scholarship fund was established in her memory.

Education and Early Career
Born June 4th, 1914, in New Haven, Connecticut, Marie Haug first enrolled in Vassar College, earning her B.A degree in 1935 in English and graduating cum laude. In the two years immediately following her time at Vassar, Haug continued her studies of English at Yale University, before moving to New York City to attend the New York School of Social Work. Haug then took a break from her studies, working for the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers Union. There, Haug worked as a business agent before returning to academia in 1960 to study social work at Western Reserve University. Haug completed her M.A. in 1964, and her Ph.D. in 1968, both in sociology. Haug was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Kappa Delta honor societies.

Controversy During Initial Hiring at Western Reserve University
During her early years at Vassar College, Marie Haug had joined the Communist Party in 1935, and remained in the party actively until 1948, officially resigning in 1949. Unfortunately for Haug, with the Red Scare and McCarthyism on the rise in the 1950's, while working for the United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers Union, Haug was presented with non-Communist affidavits, which she signed despite her prior associations with the Communist Party. When tried in federal court, Haug claimed to have not ever been a part of the Communist Party, and she was convicted on February 19th, 1958. Haug Served the majority of an 18-month sentence, along with her husband, Fred, and five others convicted at the same time.

Upon her release, Haug applied twice to return to Western Reserve University, her second application being accepted despite her felony conviction. Haug then returned to her studies and research, some of which she had continued to assist with while in prison. Haug's return to research was supported by Dr. Marvin B. Sussman, who had led projects with Haug before. Haug became the chief research assistant on a Study with Dr. Sussman, who had also signed an affidavit, along with other Western Reserve University faculty members, to reduce Haug's sentence. There was some backlash against Haug's participation, especially on grants receiving money from the federal government, but Dr. Sussman was adamant about Haug's inclusion and the quality of her work.

Case Western Reserve University Legacy
Marie Haug received her first teaching position, as an associate professor of sociology, in 1968. From there, she held several posts at Case Western Reserve University. In 1975 Haug became the chair of the Department of Sociology, a position she held for four years. The following year, in 1976, her position as chair of Sociology led to her becoming the first female chair of the CWRU Faculty Senate. Haug then helped found the university's Center on Aging and Health, which she led as director from 1979-1984, before stepping down to continue her research. She was also the director of research for the Frances Payne Bolton school of Nursing from 1987-1989. Haug gained emerita status in 1984.

Research
Haug's early research focused on tuberculosis and rehabilitation, but this extended to aging, health, and doctor-patient relationships as her career progressed. Haug justified her interest in aging and the elderly by explaining that she herself was "getting old," as she had received her Ph.D. while already in her fifties. Haug also gave several presentations on cross-cultural issues relating to aging, including presenting a paper titled "Doctor-patient relationships in different societies" in 1983, and wrote several articles and papers on the realities of race and gender in aging. Later in her career, between 1989 and 1991, Haug participated in a series of presentations on cross-cultural views of aging between the United States and Japan, research she undertook with fellow researchers H. Akiyama, K. Sonoda, G. Tryban and M. Wykle. Haug was also on the editorial boards for both the Journal of Applied Gerontology and the Journal of Women and Aging, joining these boards in 1988 and 1989 respectively. Haug continued to actively participate in research until 1999.

Honors and Awards
Haug's continuous research efforts, even after gaining emerita status, earned her several honors, including being inducted into the Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame in May, 1991, when she was 76 years old. In 1983 and 1990, Haug received the Ohio Network of Educational Consultants's Gerontological Educator of the Year Award. Also in 1990, she received a Distinguished Mentorship Award from the Gerontological Society of America. Haug also received recognition from the National Institute on Aging, including a five year grant to continue her research through an NIH MERIT award. Other honors earned by Marie Haug include the Arnold Heller Award for Excellence in Gerontology, an Award for Leadership in the Field of Gerontology from the Ohio Research Council on Aging, as well as the Golden Age Centers of Greater Cleveland's Golden Achievement Award for Gerontology. After her death in 2001, a scholarship fund was established in her honor.
