Haverford biologist and director of the Marian
E. Koshland Integrated Natural Sciences Center, Judy Owen, is
the 2003 recipient of an “Excellence in Mentoring”
award from the American Association of Immunologists. Owen,
who joined Haverford’s faculty in 1981, is the first recipient
from an undergraduate institution to be given this award.

recipient of the National Science Foundation’s prestigious
Faculty Award for Women Scientists and Engineers – an
honor given to only 100 educators nation-wide in recognition
of their significant research and contributions to science and
education.
