Building on Joel Fleishman’s enduring legacy, the Samuel and Ronnie Heyman Center for Ethics, Public Policy, and the Professions—together with the Center for Strategic Philanthropy and Civil Society and the Center for the Study of Philanthropy and Voluntarism—is being reimagined as a unified hub for research, dialogue, and public engagement.
A new vision is taking shape, one that reflects Fleishman’s spirit of intellectual curiosity and commitment to public service. Stay tuned for what’s next.
Through a major gift given to the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy from the late Samuel Heyman and his wife, Ronnie, in 1991, the Samuel and Ronnie Heyman Center for Ethics, Public Policy and the Professions was established on December 4, 1994. The Heyman Center for Ethics focuses its teaching and research activities on ethical issues in public policy decisions, in campaigns for political office, in governmental entities, in nonprofit organizations and in charitable foundations. The Center sponsors symposia, speakers and conferences. All of the activities of the Center are carried out in memory of Mr. Samuel Heyman and in honor of Mrs. Ronnie Heyman, long-time friends to the Sanford School of Public Policy and the parents of Lazarus Samuel Heyman T ’94 and Elizabeth Heyman Winter T ’03.
