In “A Crack in Creation: Gene Editing and the Unthinkable Power

In an email to a New York Times reporter, Doudna reflected, “It

When the Boston Red Sox selected Pomona-Pitzer slugger (and

“They both really wanted to play professionally and worked

POMONA COLLEGE
PROFILE 2017-2018
Pomona offers an exemplary liberal arts education for the 21st century
Collaborative, adventurous and deeply commit-
ted, Pomona students are not passive recipients
of knowledge. They are, instead, architects of
their education, vigorously pursuing areas of
interest while simultaneously placing great
value on the perspectives and, at times, contra-
dictions of their peers and faculty members.
At the heart of the Pomona academic
experience are small classes and close
relationships with faculty. Pomona students
have a great deal of autonomy in deciding
the scope and purpose of their education,
from general education requirements (with
nearly 500 options) to funded undergraduate
research opportunities. With the privilege of
that freedom comes high expectations—not for
grades or awards, per se, but for meaningful
engagement in the fabric of this community.
Pomona students understand that the joy of
learning is contagious, and that what’s possible is
bound only by one’s imagination.
The tenth president of Pomona College officially took office in July 2017.
G. Gabrielle Starr arrived in Claremont from New York University, where she
served as dean of the College of Arts and Science.
A scholar who began her own college education at the age of 15, Starr earned her
doctorate at Harvard University and made her mark in the field of 18th-century
British literature. An exemplar of the interdisciplinary power of the liberal arts,
she went on to explore the neuroscience of aesthetics, first as a postdoctoral
fellow at the California Institute of Technology, and later on the faculty at NYU.
Reflecting on Pomona’s college seal, a torch of knowledge, Starr believes, “We
are called to what is best in us. We must think. We must act—our values always
call us to considered action. We must look for a path forward and also consider
from whence we have come.”
In recognition of David Oxtoby’s tenure as Pomona College’s ninth
president (2003-2017), and of the values he shared with John
Payton ’73, the Pomona College Board of Trustees has funded
a distinguished memorial lectureship. A $1 million endowment
will allow the President of Pomona College, in consultation with
faculty, to plan and host a distinguished visitor on campus to
deliver the annual Payton lecture.
The John A. Payton ’73 Distinguished Lectureship honors Payton’s
life and influential career as a renowned civil rights attorney,
president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and
a member of the Pomona College Board of Trustees. When Payton
enrolled at Pomona College in 1965, he was one of a handful of
black students at The Claremont Colleges. By his senior year,
before heading off to Harvard Law School, he had successfully
lobbied Pomona’s administration to recruit more black students
and to initiate a Black Studies program. His career would go on
to feature several major Supreme Court civil rights victories.
Pomona can offer the advantages of a small
liberal arts college and the opportunities of a
university-like setting of around 8,300 students
because it is embedded in The Claremont
Consortium: five undergraduate colleges (5Cs)
plus two graduate institutions on neighboring
campuses. Together, they add up to an
education far greater than the sum of its parts.
Pomona students are passionate and curious by
nature. In their drive to make the world a better
and more just place, they dive headfirst into
the abundance of opportunities the campus,
the Claremont Colleges and greater Southern
California have to offer. Given our wealth of
human and natural resources, it is not surprising
that Pomona remains a beacon for the liberal
arts, with a reputation for graduating students
who are politically aware, socially conscious
and intellectually adept at meeting the
challenges of the twenty-first century.
