b'IMPACT:KNOWING THE STORYSpotlight: Nancy and Jonathan FudemWhen Nancy Fudem and her son Jonathan were contemplating ways to honor the memory of Nancys husband Frank, a prominent San Francisco commercial real estate broker who passed away in 2012, they decided that a fitting tribute would be to create a legacy of scholarship in Franks name, allowing others to use education to better themselves and the world at large. Working with USC Shoah Foundation, they established the Frank Fudem Research Fellowship at the Center for Advanced Genocide Research. The Fudem Fellowship allows advanced-standing PhD candidates from any academic discipline to spend a month in residency at the Center utilizing testimony within the Visual History Archive to further their understanding of genocides causes as well as ways to combat it. The fact that this research will help create a more just society, Nancy explained, is a legacy Frank would be proud of.Supporting academic research is an honor for all of us. If one scholar impacts one student on the basis of research facilitated by the Frank Fudem Fellowship, we will all have accomplished something important.Nancy FudemFellowships in ActionI cant express in words how enriching this experience has been. Having the ability to conduct independent research with the help and encouragement of such an incredible foundation has made me into a more confident and joyful individual. USC Shoah Foundation is a truly unique, exciting and inspiring place to work.
