Woodbridge-based pharmaceuticals magnate is giving $22.5 million to UConn — the second-largest donation in school history — to found the Peter J. Werth Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
Werth, founder and CEO of Woodbridge drug manufacturer ChemWerth, pledged the millions of dollars Monday in a residence hall that will now bear his name. His name is already on the facility where the women’s and men’s basketball teams practice.
