With speaker Dr. Michael Vigorito

His contributions reflect a legacy of using science to advance both public welfare and knowledge, particularly at the intersection of MARITIME SAFETY and meteorology.
About the Speaker: DR.. VIGORITO has been a full-time faculty member of the Psychology Department at Seton Hall University since 1989. He received his doctorate in Experimental Psychology at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and post-doctoral training in behavioral pharmacology at Rutgers University.
