She earned her bachelor’s degree in geology at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and her master’s and doctoral degrees at , both in geological sciences. While finishing her doctoral degree, Stofan joined the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) as a post-doctoral fellow and became the deputy project scientist for the Mission to .

In 1994, Stofan became JPL’s chief scientist for the New Millennium Program where she managed a team of about 100 scientists working on new technologies. The following year, Stofan moved to London while continuing to work at JPL and was, and continues to be, an honorary professor at University College London.

For 13 years (2000–2013), Stofan was vice president and senior scientist at Proxemy Research, a consulting firm in the Washington area specializing in planetary research.

Stofan’s research focuses on the geology of Venus, Mars, Saturn’s moon and Earth. Her favorite mission was Cassini, primarily because of her interest in Titan.

She has published extensively and received many awards and honors, including the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers and the NASA Distinguished Service Medal, and was named one of “CNN’s Extraordinary People of 2014.” She is co-author of the books Planetology: Unlocking the Secrets of the Solar System and Next Earth: What Our World Can Teach Us About Other Planets, both published by National Geographic.

The attire worn by the graduates, faculty, and officers of the University for Commencement exercises has historic UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS roots in the distant medieval past. Dressed in cap and gown, graduates and professors form part of a long tradition, P. Barry Butler, Ph.D. President which dates back to Paris, Bologna, Oxford and Cambridge. Marc L. Archambault Senior Vice President for Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement The precise origins of the several parts of the academic garb are not easy to discover. However, since medieval Rodney Cruise Senior Vice President for Administration and Chief Operating Officer students enjoyed the status of clerics during their University years, one may assume that their attire found its Randy Howard, Ph.D. Senior Vice President for Finance and Chief Financial Officer inspiration in the clerical dress of medieval times. The gown seems to be an adaptation of the robe of the friar or Lon D. Moeller, J.D. Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost priest; the hood resembles the monk’s or friar’s cowl; and the mortarboard cap may have evolved from the skullcaps Anette M. Karlsson, Ph.D. Chancellor, Prescott Campus that were needed to protect against the drafts of medieval classrooms. John Watret, Ph.D. Chancellor, Worldwide Campus Charlie Sevastos, J.D. Vice President and General Counsel Academic attire began to appear on campuses in the United States in the late 1890s. Since that time, its use has Jason M.
