George Franklin Farris

Professor Farris was my Mentor & PhD Dissertation Director in the fields of Technology & Innovation Management and Organization Behavior.

Am Autistic and Professor Farris adeptly supported and guided me through many, many challenges to become the 1st part-time PhD graduate in his Rutgers program. I learned so much from him and still think of him, and his many teachings and subtle insights. Was a difficult student, but George stood by me including as my guest speaker at Kimberly-Clark in Wisconsin.

Am a Chemist, but George taught me to understand the basics and value of behavioral sciences which greatly helped me understand Autism, people, organizations, and of course management. As examples, I learned behavior is a function of genes and environment, time pressure and high performers, innovation, measuring causality, and patience.

Professor Farris changed my Life!

Our deepest condolences for your loss. May his memory be eternal.
