Sharon Camp, an esteemed alumna from the Class of 1965, played a pivotal role in advancing women's reproductive health through her groundbreaking work in the development and commercialization of the Plan B emergency contraceptive pill. Her efforts have had a lasting impact on women's rights and health, making her a significant figure in the field.
In recognition of her contributions, Camp was awarded an honorary Ph.D. from her alma mater in 2013, a testament to her dedication and influence in the realm of reproductive health. During the same year, she delivered a powerful Commencement speech for the graduating class, inspiring future generations to advocate for women's health issues and pursue their passions fearlessly.
