Last fall Pomona College President G. Gabrielle Starr was inducted into the American Philosophical Society (APS) honoring her extraordinary accomplishments as a leader in higher education.
The APS is the oldest learned society in the United States, founded in 1743 by Benjamin Franklin. Past members include George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, Thomas Edison, Marie Curie, Albert Einstein and Robert Frost. The society generally elects fewer than 30 resident members annually.
