Misher Festival 2012
In 2012, the Misher Festival of Fine Arts and Humanities celebrated
Wanderlust—the longing and impulse to travel. Throughout March
and April, the Misher Festival inspired individual explorations with
intellectual, physical, artistic, and personal adventures. Jack Connor,
PhD, a professor of writing at The Richard Stockton College of New
Jersey, served as the 2012 Misher Visiting Professor of Humanities.
Dr. Connor has been teaching courses in writing and natural history
at Stockton for more than 25 years and is author of several books
including Season at the Point: The Birds and Birders of Cape May.

Founders’ Day Recipient Driven
by Life-Changing Interactions
From the time she was a teenager, two life-changing events fueled
GERIANNE TRINGALI DIPIANO’s capacity to make a difference. Together
these two events and people would drive her “passion for science and
scientific investigation [that] would ultimately lead [her] to a career in
the United States pharmaceutical industry.”
From there it was not a far stretch of the imagination that her drive and
determination would lead to her founding a company that strives to
make a difference.

“FemmePharma was created to deliver the difference in women’s health
for diseases otherwise under-researched but for which there is high value
for women,” DiPiano HonDSc’12, who serves as president, chief executive
officer, and board chairman of FemmePharma Global Healthcare, Inc., told
those assembled for the University’s annual Founders’ Day celebration on
February 23, 2012. “Diseases such as endometriosis, the leading cause
of infertility; breast disease; and gynecologic cancers are therapeutic areas
where FemmePharma’s products will be life changing.”
