 |
Pomona College, one of the nation’s premier liberal arts
colleges, has elected three new members to its Board of
Trustees in 2006.
Jean Moran Kaplan, a former senior manager for Price
Waterhouse and business consultant, served as national chair
for Pomona’s 2004-06 annual giving campaigns and co-chair of
her 20th reunion. In her second year as national chair for
annual giving, she was the Annual Fund’s top volunteer,
leading the effort that raised a record-setting $4.4
million. As a financial aid recipient herself, she felt
strongly about The Annual Fund, which enables the College to
accept students regardless of income. A 1983 graduate of
Pomona, she majored in economics, served as a student
advisor and worked at the College’s radio station, KSPC. She
later earned an MBA in finance at UCLA.
Gordon Steel has worked as the chief financial officer of
several high technology companies, particularly those in the
early stages of product development. As the chief financial
officer of three different companies, including Xilinx Inc.
and Marvell Technology Group, he was involved in initial
public offerings. Most recently he was a co-founder of
Codaware, Inc. He is also a former director of the Marshall
Steel. Jr. Foundation. Both he and his wife, Lauri Montague
Steel, are members of the Pomona Class of 1967. An economics
major, he was senior class treasurer, treasurer of Alpha
Gamma Nu fraternity, and served on the Interfraternity
Council. He later earned an MBA from Stanford.
Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran became president of Kalamazoo College
in July 2005, after serving in teaching and administrative
positions at Salem Academy and College in Winston-Salem,
N.C. A strong proponent of equity and inclusion, she has an
extensive background in higher education and child
development. While in Nigeria—her academic home for 14
years—she served as a consultant for UNICEF (Nigeria). She
is the recipient of many honors including the 1999 Gender
Equity Architect Award by the American Association of
Colleges of Teacher Education in recognition of her work in
leadership development and mentoring young women and girls.
In 2005, she was honored as a YWCA Woman of Vision. A member
of the Pomona Class of 1969, she was a major founder of the
Black Studies Center and president of Mortar Board. She
received her M.A. and Ph.D. from Claremont Graduate
University.
Pomona College, founded in 1887, is the founding member of
The Claremont Colleges. Located in Southern California, it’s
hallmarks include small classes, close relationships between
students and faculty, and a range of opportunities for
student research. For more information on Pomona College,
