Each year, juniors and seniors vote for the Wig Distinguished Professor Awards for excellence in teaching—the highest honor bestowed on Pomona faculty—in recognition of exceptional teaching, concern for students and service to the College and the community. This year, William A. Johnson Professor of Government and Professor of Politics David Menefee-Libey was honored for the seventh time, tying the late Emerita Professor of English Martha Andresen Wilder for the most recognitions since the establishment of the award in 1955.
