Moore's 2018 Distinguished Alumna Janice Merendino '74 is featured in a short film series by John Thornton called "Artists in the Time of Pandemic."

In the film, Merendino talks about her newest work, which is inspired by three decades of old family photographs that she took of her grandparents' home in Atlantic City in the 1970s when she visited from college.

The film features photos of her grandmother, who came to the United States from Italy for an arranged marriage when she was 19.
