from the NIH and the NSF. They have all served in various capacities as grant proposal reviewers
for the NSF, NIH, HHMI, and other funding bodies and, as well, have evaluated manuscripts
submitted for publication in immunological journals. In addition, they are all active members of
the American Association of Immunologists (AAI) and have served that national organization in a
variety of ways.
Jenni Punt received her A.B. from Bryn Mawr College, magna cum laude, with high honors in
biology from Haverford College. She was a combined degree student at the University of
Pennsylvania, graduating summa cum laude from the School of Veterinary Medicine (V.M.D.) with
a Ph.D. in immunology. She pursued her interest in T-cell development as a Damon Runyon-
Walter Winchell Physician-Scientist fellow with Dr. Alfred Singer at the National Institutes of
Health and was appointed to the faculty of Haverford College in 1996. After 18 wonderful years
there, working on T-cell and hematopoietic stem cell development, she accepted a position as
associate dean for student research at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons.
There she was the founding director of an M.D./M.Sc. dual degree program and co-ran a laboratory
on hematopoiesis with her husband, Dr. Stephen Emerson. After being tempted back to the School
of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, she is now developing new educational
programs as director of One Health Research Education. She has received multiple teaching
awards over the course of her career and continues to find that students are her most inspirational
colleagues.

Sharon Stranford received her Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology from Hahnemann
University (now Drexel), where she studied multiple sclerosis. She then spent 3 years exploring
transplant immunology as a postdoctoral fellow at Oxford University, followed by 3 years at the
University of California, San Francisco, conducting human HIV/AIDS research. In 2001 she was
hired as a Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor at Mount Holyoke College, a small liberal arts
college for women in Massachusetts, where she served in the Department of Biological Sciences
and the Program in Biochemistry for 12 years. Sharon is now a professor of biology at Pomona
College in Claremont, California, where she investigates immunologic markers that influence
susceptibility to immune deficiency. She also studies the science of teaching and learning; in
particular, initiatives within STEM that foster a sense of inclusion and that welcome firstgeneration
college students, like herself. Her teaching repertoire, past and present, includes cell
biology, immunology, advanced laboratories in immunology, and seminars in infectious disease,
as well as a team-taught course blending ethics and biology, entitled “Controversies in Public
Health.”
Pat Jones graduated from Oberlin College in Ohio with highest honors in biology and obtained her
Ph.D. in biology with distinction from Johns Hopkins University. She was a postdoctoral fellow of
the Arthritis Foundation for 2 years in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the
University of California, San Francisco, Medical School, followed by 2 years as an NSF postdoctoral
fellow in the Departments of Genetics and Medicine/Immunology at Stanford University School of
Medicine. In 1978 she was appointed assistant professor of biology at Stanford and is now a full
professor and currently holds the Dr. Nancy Chang Professorship in Humanities and Sciences. Pat
has received several undergraduate teaching awards, was the founding director of the Ph.D.
Program in Immunology, served as vice provost for faculty development and diversity, and in July
2011, she assumed the position of Director of Stanford Immunology, a position that coordinates
immunology training activities across the university.

Judy Owen holds B.A. and M.A. (Hons) degrees in biochemistry from Cambridge University. She
pursued her Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania with the late Dr. Norman Klinman and her
postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Peter Doherty in viral immunology. In 1981, she was appointed to
the faculty of Haverford College, one of the first undergraduate colleges to offer a course in
immunology. Judy teaches numerous laboratory and lecture courses in biochemistry and
immunology; her teaching awards include the Excellence in Mentoring Award from the American
Association of Immunologists. She is currently a participant in Haverford’s First Year Writing
Program and has been involved in curriculum development across the college. Judy served as
director of the Marian E. Koshland Integrated Natural Sciences Center from 2013 to 2017 and
currently holds the Elizabeth Ufford Green Professorship in Natural Sciences.
Together, Jenni Punt and Judy Owen developed and ran the first AAI introductory immunology
course, which is now offered on an annual basis.
