Kean University

That'd be good.

We mentioned in the interview, coming up on October 28th, is the LGBTQ Health and Wellness Conference at Kean University.

It is the second year this is happening.

That's Union, New Jersey.

There's a time possession advantage for Franklin & Marshall, 36 to 24 on the day.

Back in the end, Jack, it's Kean at Rowan.

First quarter, 9:10 remaining, Frank Marchesi grabs a seven-yard touchdown toss to give Rowan a 6-0 score as their extra point was blocked.

Uh, that's a nice 12-play drive to start the game, but we go about four minutes later, and suddenly Kean's in the lead as Ty Cline finds Sal Marchione for a 20-yard touchdown pass, 7-6, Kean in the lead.

That would be the halftime score, Kean up 7-6.

10 minutes into the third quarter, Ty Cline hits Jordan Bartlett for a 19-yard touchdown.

Kean now up 14-6.

That's crazy in this game.

You know, shout out to Jayda.

She's a freshman at, uh, Kean University, um, doing very well.

And now-

She know Dad was right about the guy.

... at Ogunquit.

And then I played, uh, Dracula on stage at the, at Kean University, um, an- another year later.

It was the fall, I think, of 2010 or 2011.

I don't remember.

The best part of the job is I learn from them.

I'm also on the adjunct faculty at Kean University, a state university in New Jersey, which is in the neighboring community union.

Okay.

So as I teach introduction to public administration, I learn from them as well.

And I co-teach with the chancellor of the university who used to work for me when she first got out of college.

She went to be a lawyer.

Her name is Felice Vasquez, and she's now the chancellor at Kean University, handles a lot of the foreign students, and her and I co-teach it.

So what keeps you up at night? That's a really good question because I think what keeps me up at night is understanding the issues of crime and understanding the issues of hazards.

Welcome to Climb Higher with Her, a podcast about women and their leadership journeys.

I am Darlene Rapalette, First Lady of Kean University in New Jersey and your host.

As a former corporate HR executive of 25 years, I have a passion for understanding what makes leaders thrive.

We are going to speak with women leaders from government to business and everything in between to hear their stories, share their valuable lessons, and gain actionable wisdom.

We are honored.

And I want to make sure to properly introduce you.

Audience, today we are joined by a true visionary and proud Kean University alumna who fundamentally transformed how we think about empathy, communication, and human connection under pressure, Dr. Marion Stewart.

As a renowned psychologist, speaker, and professor emeritus of family medicine and community health at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Dr. Stewart spent over 30 years revolutionizing primary care by teaching the art of effectively bridging the gap between mental and physical health.

Yeah, so, uh, I got into teaching, um, about two and a half years ago.

Uh, I teach at Kean University in U- in New Jersey, where I'm an alum, uh, as well, and I teach marketing and business classes.

And the reason why I do it is because of, of, you know, what we were kinda just talking about a little bit with respect to the podcast.

I want to be able to help that next generation find their path in marketing and advertising.

He's gonna be live in studio.

That is the Kean University athletic director.

We'll talk a little bit, uh, a little college football with him.

Uh, a couple things to discuss on that front, including Florida State, who has played with a lot of guts, and Kris Swogger is a Seminole himself.

He didn't say it like that, but he did say, "I'm pitching tonight," so we'll see.

Chris, we appreciate it.

Well, what's on deck? Uh, for those who don't know, Kean University, what to look forward to in the future?

Uh, again, this weekend we got volleyball at 2:00 PM.

And then the reason that it matters here is because both of them have played a national championship game, so I suppose I could have accepted Christopher Newport or Emory.

Christopher Newport made it in 2003 and lost to Chapman, and Emory made it twice, losing to Kean in 2007 and Whitewater in 2014.

So if you wanna get technical, six Region VI teams have played for a natty, but for purposes of the show, we were focusing on the four conferences that live entirely inside of Region VI, which are of course USA South, SAA, CCSN... [burps] I'm gonna edit that out.

[laughs] Leave that one in.
