Prof. Hudgings is currently the Seeley W. Mudd Professor of Physics and a Wig Distinguished Professor at the College. Prior to this, she served as the dean of the college and vice president for academic affairs, in which role her responsibilities included supporting the faculty in their teaching and research, administering the academic program, exploring new instructional initiatives, and supporting cooperative programs with the other Claremont Colleges.
Prof. Hudgings came to Pomona in 2013 from Mount Holyoke College where she was an associate dean of faculty and a professor of physics. As associate dean, she was responsible for working with humanities, arts, sciences and math departments in curricular and personnel development, including faculty and staff hires, annual operating budgets, restricted funds and facilities. She also served on key college committees and led strategic initiatives on advancing the use of technology to enhance liberal arts education, examining faculty composition and workload, and institutionalizing best practices for faculty diversity.
Prof. Hudgings also co-founded the startup company Alenas Imaging to commercialize the thermal imaging technology developed in her laboratory. She served as the vice president and chief technology officer of Alenas Imaging from 2007-2012.
